Different instruments having the same pitch will sound different because of overtones or harmonics, these are multiples of the fundamental pitch. A note plus its 2X harmonic and its 4X harmonic will sound different to the same note plus its 3X harmonic. This is called colouration.

∙ 12y agoSounds are waves that have a frequency and a wavelength. Pitch is the musical term for frequency. One would think that two sounds having the same frequency and amplitude (loudness) sound exactly the same. Well, they would were it not for a very fortunate phenomenon. Sound waves, especially those produced by musical instruments, have little waves traveling on top of the primary wave. These are called harmonics or overtones. They have frequencies that are multiples of the pitch frequency. These extra waves produce an effect we call quality. Some instruments produce only one or two harmonics. Some produce many harmonics. Harmonics give the sound the rich quality that some instruments produce.

∙ 9y agoThere is more than one way to do that. One way is to have a standard. Then you ask if the test tone is louder, and you ask if the test tone is higher (lower) in pitch. Then all test tones are compared to a set of standards.

Is an elephants pitch soft or loud?
Pitch is not loudness; an elephant can make both loud and quiet sounds, however all of their sounds are relatively low pitch.

What is a pitch in sounds?
Loudness, pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.

Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?
Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.
