Like a misquito vs a bird flying into a window pane...

The overtones and sub frequencies that fills a note, and makes it sound good, is also different... Overtones and sub frequencies can be best described as the warmth... take a tube amp vs. a transistor amp. The tube just sounds more full and 'warm'...

I wonder why it is refered to as enharmonic noise?
