The word is
Timbre
(pronounced "TAM-ber")
This is the tone color of a sound. Instruments made of metal often have a BRIGHT timbre
while instruments made of wood often have a deeper, warmer timbre. Some people have a scratchy
timbre to their voice, while other have a gentle, soft, velvety timbre
to their voices. The timbre of a sound is one of the things that helps us tell one sound from
another.
