The quality of a sound determined by its partial structure, that is the relative frequencies and amplitudes of the various sinewaves which collectively make up that particular sound. It is more or less synonymous with "tone". It is this quality which allows you to distinguish between a flute and an oboe playing the same pitch at the same volume.
