I remember an interview where people that worked with him (I think Jay-Z?) described him as a "reducer" more than a "producer" which makes sense to me.
I've heard stories of artists with projects deep into scope creep calling Rick Rubin in to help cut through all the chaff.
It would make sense that he doesn't have a particular sound if his goal is to help the artist make the best possible art they can.
