What makes the two musical notes of the same
pitch but produced from different sources differ from each other?

The reason the same musical note sounds different when played on various instruments is because the harmonic overtones and envelope of each instrument is unique. When a frequency is played, other frequencies, called harmonics, are created. Each instrument has a unique harmonic character. The duration of the notes, or envelope, played on different instruments also varies widely.
