Psychology of Language
Timbre is the quality or color of a sound that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices or musical instruments. It encompasses various characteristics including pitch, loudness, and duration, but is primarily concerned with the harmonic structure and overtones present in the sound wave. This unique sonic fingerprint allows us to identify whether a sound is produced by a flute, a piano, or a person's voice, even when they are playing the same note.
