hertz? noob question

[cotjones 10+ year member]

kay got a dumb probably obvious answered question, but now that i switched to suncom, i have time to wonder about OTHER things...

are all frequencies that are the same, EXCATLY the same?

for example: 2 instuments play exactly the same note... but they sound different, is this just due to harmonics?

theoretical: lets say a noise of a drum or something is 500 hertz... if i sing at exactly the same frequency will i sound the same as the drum? or are there variations to the same frequencies?

you are confusing frequency(pitch) and texture.

Many things affect how a sound sounds besides pitch. Texture, attack rate, decay, etc

if two instruments play the same note but sound different, one is probably out of tune..

Not if they are different instruments.
