Answer

The quality of a sound, also known as its timbre, depends on the complexity of the sound wave.

Specifically, it is determined by the number of overtones present and their relative intensities. While the fundamental frequency determines the pitch and the amplitude determines the loudness, the timbre is what allows us to distinguish between different instruments or voices producing the same note at the same loudness.
