Do you mean Timbre?

Timbre, in musical terms, is also known as tone color or tone quality. It is the quality of a musical note, sound, or tone that distinguishes different types of sound such as that produced by woodwind, brass, string and percussion instruments. Put simply, it is what differentiates musical sounds if they have the same pitch and loudness just as a violin sounds different from, for example, a piano even though they are playing the same note at the same volume level.
