They're not really different. They are just made of different materials. They make the same sound.

Actually, probably what you're asking is: some trumpets are plated in gold, some are plated in silver, some in nickel. The Trumpet itself is made of brass, then plated with different metals. It's a matter of opinion, but some people say different metals make the trumpet have a different tone and some say it doesn't.
