The perceived sound differences between sounds with the same pitch but possessing different higher harmonics is known as timbre. Timbre is what allows us to distinguish between different instruments playing the same note or different voices singing the same note. The stapes are three small bones in the middle ear, amplitude is the magnitude or strength of a sound wave, and decibel is a unit of measurement for sound intensity.
