What is the snare drum also called and what gives it its snare sound?

It doesn't have another name. The snares are steel wires, sinuously-wound and tensioned so that they contact the lower drum-head. When the top head is struck, the snare-head resonates in sympathy, making the wires rattle against it to give the characteristic timbre to the drum's sound.

Why does the snare drum sound the way it does?
Snare is a type of Drum, not a component like the head or skin. My guess the term was used by analogy with (Trap) one speaks of a trap drum set-the usual drummer"s ensemble, and the snare drum is part of that, also a snare is a type of trap-and is so decribed in one of the verses of Amazing Grace- through many dangers, toils, and snares, no, not the autobiography of a drum repairman. snare is a type of drum, not the component of the instrument. a device called a systrum- or cistrum is inside the drum and makes the rolling, rat-at-tat sound with sort of rattle sound, this may be what you are thinking of. By the way have you heard the term (Biff!) it is aplied both to a style of drumming and also a nickname for Drummers- Bobby Ettinger, if you are out there, I remember (Biff!)
What is a good high-class punk snare drum to buy?
Pearl, Mapex, and Sonor are all good brands of snares. - - - - - There are a LOT of good snares out there. The three mentioned above are good moderately priced snares. Tama is also a good snare, as is Yamaha. If you want to spend stupid amounts of money, go with Craviotto--his snares don't sound like anyone else's because of how they're made. Also, I got a "Peace" snare drum, they've got a heck of nice sound for the price. Plus the thing i love about snare drums and almost all drums is that you don't have to spend a butt load of money on an amazing snare but you can pretty much usually tune them to sound great. - - - - - check out mapleworks and darkhorse customs but the ply's are tricky.

My snare drum sounds like a bongo help?
I might not be of much help as I'm a guitarist, but I played in bands years back and the drummer had a key that looked like a radiator key and he used it to adjust the snare drum. He used to hit the snare with one drum stick and use the key to adjust the nuts on the top of the rim, it changed the sound. Also he used to adjust the springs on the underside of the drum (not sure how). I think it's the springs that give it the "Snare" sound. My guess is that the skin maybe too tight on your drum and/or the springs are not "Rattling" enough. As I said, I'm a guitarist and the drummer couldn't play my guitar. Hope this helps.

What is a snare made for?
It gives a rattle effect to the drum to which it is attached. It consists of a frame carrying several, parallel steel wires wound into an open spring shape, and arranged to press gently against the lower, or snare head, of the drum. Since that head is vibrated in response to the vibrations of the played head, the snare wires rattle against it. One effect is to smooth a properly-played roll by giving something akin to a glissando from stroke to stroke. It also seems to reduce the lower-pitched components of the drum's sound, and deaden the ringing a bit, so if the drum heads and snares are adjusted correctly the tone is much snappier.
