The two sounds of same loudness and same pitch produced by different instruments differ due to their different waveforms.

The waveforms depend on the number of the subsidiary notes and their relative amplitude along with the principal note.

Diagram below shows the wave patterns of two sounds of same loudness and same pitch but emitted by two different instruments. They produce different sensation to ears because they differ in waveforms: one is a sine wave, while the other is a triangular wave.
