The previous answer was: "A chord" to which I have to disagree. Chords are made up of 3 or more notes.
Two (2) notes played at the same time are an interval. If the notes are the same and played at the exact same frequency, then they are said to be in unison. Otherwise, the interval (space between the notes) is measured in half and whole steps, and is many times referred to relative to the distance between the notes in the major scale of the bottom note of the interval.
For example, if the bottom note of the interval is C and the noted played above it is F, then counting up the C Major scale reveals the interval is a 4th (2 and 1/2 whole steps). Likewise, if the bottom note is F and the top note is C, then counting up the F Major scale reveals the interval is a 5th (3 and 1/2 whole steps).
