Answer :

Final answer:

Frequency, harmonics, and timbre play crucial roles in distinguishing musical notes and sounds.


Explanation:

Frequency is the primary factor that helps distinguish between the same note of the same loudness produced by two musical instruments. The frequencies of harmonics are multiples of the frequency of the fundamental. Timbre is the quality of a musical note, influenced by the waveform and other frequencies present.
