Some would argue that it more commonly refers to a single pitch — e. For example, from C to C is a half step or half tone, whereas from C to D would be a whole step. I don't like to use the term "tone" because of the possible confusion about its meaning. It's better to use timbre, pitch, note, or step when appropriate and leave tone out altogether. In a musical context "Tone" can be the hi-cut filter on an old record player or radio.
It can be another word for "Timbre". It can be the British name for a whole-step interval half-step is a semitone. It can just mean a single-pitch musical sound - a chord consists of several tones played together. Or it could be one of those marks sitting among the 5 lines of a musical stave.
It refers to the frequency of the note, normally described by musicians by letter-names A,B,C etc, plus sharps and flats. Or by the vertical position of those "notes" on the 5 lines.
I understand your urge to "get the terms sorted out". But I don't think it will help much. Better to explore some music, ask "What does this DO? Sign up to join this community.

The standard reference point for tuning a piano is the A above middle C, which has a frequency of Hz. This means that the next A going up the keys to the right has a frequency of Hz. A note of Hz is one octave away from Hz, and both are called A on a piano keyboard.
Is every sound a note? Most sounds are not what you would call a musical note, tone, or pitch. What is tone and intonation? Tone is the attitude or how somebody sounds whereas intonation is the rise and fall of voice, sound or tone. In languages, tone languages make use of fixed pitch targets for differentiating each word unlike intonation languages that use pitch semantically like the use of the right word stress to convey a question. What is tone of sound?
Tone, in acoustics, sound that can be recognized by its regularity of vibration. A simple tone has only one frequency, although its intensity may vary. A complex tone consists of two or more simple tones, called overtones. The tone of lowest frequency is called the fundamental; the others, overtones. What is pitch and examples? Pitch is defined as to set something up. An example of pitch is putting up a tent. Pitch means to throw something. An example of pitch is a baseball being tossed at a bat.
What are the 7 musical notes? Most musicians use a standard called the chromatic scale. Now that you are aware of the difference between tone and tone, it is now very clear to you the terms tone-deaf and high note. They are used very frequently by singers and music enthusiasts. The definition of tone-deaf, amusia , is the inability of a person to recognize musical pitch. They can hardly differentiate two different notes, hence they produce pitch differently. However, since it can be caused by brain injury, or it may occur naturally, a very small percentage of singers can be tone-deaf.
This kind of disorder can be easily cured. With this, is it safe to say high pitch, instead of high note? Anyway, sometimes, these two terms also make singers and musicians, especially beginners, get confused. Having read this article, is there a difference in the way you perceive those words now as before?
Pitch and tone are music attributes that differ from each other. Pitch refers to the frequency of the sound or voice — high pitch high frequency and low pitch low frequency. Tone, on the other hand, refers to the color or timbre of the sound. In other words, pitch is influenced by frequency, while tone by the quality of the sound.
You can say that the sound is rich, full, bright, warm, raspy, etc. So, we like the sound or the song because the tone helps us feel the music and become connected to it.
