    The document discusses how different musical instruments produce different wave shapes when playing the same note, which causes differences in sound. It explains that each note is made up of a fundamental frequency plus overtones, and the combination of these frequencies produces the sound wave we hear. Different instruments have different physical characteristics that affect the overtones produced, shaping the sound wave differently and allowing us to distinguish between instruments playing the same note. The complexity of an instrument's sound wave, determined by the number of overtones, contributes to its unique timbre or "quality of sound."

    Harmonics But Why?

    WHAT ARE WE REALLY


    HEARING?
    Different instruments
    produce different shapes
    of waves. This is because
    they have different
    overtures, but why is that? Same pitch but a
    Each instrument is shaped
    differently and made out different sound?
    of different materials. Also
    the source of these waves
    can vary between a reed
    (wood wind), vibrating lips
    Every note is made up of a
    fundamental frequency and
    (brass) and vibrating
    overtones. When you combine strings (guitar, violin,
    this fundamental frequency and piano).
    overtones you get the wave that
    we hear which below is the yellow

    QUESTION
    So how do you identify the Sound
    same note when played by the Complexity
    flute or the tuba? There is
    obviously a difference in sound Quality of a Note
    but what causes that to
    As see below all of these
    happen. The basic idea behind instruments are playing the
    note A440. Every single
    this is that sound is made up of instrument has a wave shaped
    waves in the form of differently. This difference in
    shape is how we identify the
    compressed air particles and
    rarefacted air particle (not The sound that we hear is based
    compressed). These waves can on the constructive and
    deconstructive affect of multiple
    take an infinite number of waves happening
    simultaneously. The resulting
    shapes, based on the wave is what we hear. A wave
    with many different overtones is
    fundamental frequencies and heard as quality based on the
    overtures that they are made complexity of the wave. Waves
    can become very complex as
    up by. This is called the quality seen below.
    of the sound. Each instrument
    will have a sound quality
    proportional to the complexity
    of the wave it produces.
    difference in the sound.
