timbre perception  

Definición

  • Timbre is that characteristic of sound that distinguishes between the perception of two sounds with identical loudness, duration, and pitch. Timbre is often described in terms of the material of the sound source (e.g., woody, metallic), its vocal quality (e.g., nasal, hoarse), its resemblance to musical instruments (e.g., flutelike, bell-like), or its sensory or emotional effect (e.g., sweet, unpleasant).
