A note that has different names but sounds the same is called an enharmonic note. For example, G# and Ab are enharmonic notes because they are played at the same pitch on a musical instrument, even though they are named differently.
Notes that have different names but sound the same are called enharmonic equivalents. An example of this is the notes F# and Gb, which are played at the same pitch on an instrument but have different names.
Words that sound the same but have different meanings are called homonyms.
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and often different spellings, such as "buy" and "by."
Sound-alikes or homophones are words that have varying methods of spelling, yet sound the same.
Synonyms mean the same but sound different (red, crimson). Homonyms sound the same but mean different things (which, witch). Homonyms include words which sound the same and are spelt the same but have different meanings (left: a direction, left:went away)
Enharmonics is when you have two different note names but the pitch is the same
Two notes that sound the same in pitch but have different names are 'enharmonically equivalent'. E.g. F# and Gb sound the same but they are written differently.
Because the sound of an instrument is different but the actual pitch for the instruments are the same.
Harmonic structure, also known as timbre.
Pearl & Sound Percussion Drum Sets are the same thing...yes just different names
An enharmonic note is a note that has two names but have the same fingering
This is kind of hard to explain, but even though the saxophone is an Eb instrument and the flute isn't, they are both treble clef instruments and therefore their notes sound the same.
They sound similar, but they're actually two different songs. You can tell during the choruses of the respective songs that they're not the same note-for-note.
They have different names.
A note is a single sound, and a chord is a set of notes played at the same time to give a harmonious sound.
A trumpet is pitched in Bb. A flute is pitched in C. If a flute is playing a C, and a Trumpet is playing a C as well, the flute is playing a concert C, while the trumpet is playing a concert Bb. They are the same note on paper, but different concert pitches.
The shape of the sound wave alters the "timbre" of the sound. The best way to explain this is that a clarinet and a trumpet playing the same note have the same pitch, but the harmonics characteristic of each instrument are different, and so it's easy to tell the difference between the two.
