Sound Quality

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a party, and two different friends are telling you the same story, but one is engaging and the other is dull. This is similar to how two sounds can have the same pitch and loudness but differ in quality, known as timbre. Just as the storytelling style affects your interest in the story, the timbre of a sound affects how we perceive it, even when the basic elements like pitch (the story) and loudness (the volume of their voices) are identical.
