In
music, timbre, or sometimes timber, (from Fr. timbre;
IPA /'tæmbəɹ/ as in the first two syllables of
tambourine, or /'tɪmbəɹ/, like timber) is the quality of a
musical note or sound that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices or
musical instruments. The physical characteristics of sound that mediate the perception of timbre include spectrum and envelope. Timbre is also known in
psychoacoustics as sound quality or sound color.
