[pronounced tamb'r] Tone quality.
Also referred to as sound quality or sound color. The classic negative definition of timbre is: the perceptual attribute of sound that allows a listener to distinguish among sounds that are otherwise equivalent with respect to pitch, loudness, and subjective duration. Contemporary research has begun to decompose the attribute into several perceptual dimensions of a temporal, spectral, or spectro-temporal nature.
The tonal color of a sound, which reflects its harmonic content and envelope.

(Sorry to interupt this thread, by the way. )
