When you ask two pianists to play a particular note such as a C4 or D5, given that they are well-aware of that note, they would always press the same piano keys. Hence, due to the objective aspect of sound, which is common across all individuals, musicians have given pitches a name that would differentiate one pitch from another. On the other hand, despite what we think that is, we all hear the same sound, same frequency, and same wavelength. When we hear an alternate onomatopoeic sound of a siren, it’s up to our imagination to decide whether it’s from a police car, a fire truck, or an ambulance, this is the subjective side of sounds. Sound is subjective while at the same time it is also objective. Theoretically, though, they do not appear in the same key signature and are not the same note. These two notes are acoustically the same. Between D and E is a half-tone that can be called D sharp or E flat. Is E flat the same as D sharp? Well, yes and no. ![]()
