Property of sound that makes difference between two sounds having same frequency and amplitude is called timber or quality of sound. This is how amplitude rises or falls in a given time duration.
This is shown by waveform of sound wave. Two waves can have same amplitude and frequency but can have different waveforms. As shown here.
