Tone

A musical tone is a repeating sound. Musical tones are different in duration, loudness, and timbre.^[1] The notes used in music can have many complex forms, such as short bursts, changes in pitch, and shifts in noise.

A simple tone, or pure tone, has a steady noise. A complex tone is a musical tone that is not steady. Simple tones are added together to make complex tones.^[2]
