        1. tone

          Sound is the sensation produced through the organs of hearing or the physical cause of this sensation. Sound is the most comprehensive word of this group, applying to anything that is audible. Tone is sound considered as having some musical quality or as expressive of some feeling; noise is sound considered without reference to musical quality or as distinctly unmusical or discordant. Thus, in the most general sense noise and sound scarcely differ, and we say almost indifferently, «I heard a sound,» or «I heard a noise.» We speak of a fine, musical, or pleasing sound, but never thus of a noise. In music, tone may denote either a musical sound or the interval between two such sounds, but in the most careful usage the latter is now distinguished as the «interval,» leaving tone to stand only for the sound. Note in music strictly denotes the character representing a sound, but in loose popular usage it denotes the sound also, and becomes practically equivalent to tone. Aside from its musical use, tone is chiefly applied to that quality of the human voice by which feeling is expressed; as, he spoke in a cheery tone; the word is similarly applied to the voices of birds and other animals, and sometimes to inanimate objects. As used of a musical instrument, tone denotes the general quality of its sounds collectively considered.

        1. Sireen Harajli:

          I don’t think there’s going to be any change in policy this week. I think the tone might be a little more dovish, especially on the Euro. The last ECB minutes revealed a little bit more concern on the currency side.

        2. Brian Austin:

          We were best friends for like three years, we would spend every night either at Robin Thicke house or at my house. We went camping. We did all sorts of stuff together. If anybody was going to recognize my voice in this costume it was going to be Robin Thicke. Robin Thicke knows the rhythm of how I speak, the sound, the tone of my voice, all of that. Robin Thicke knows my voice better than anyone, probably aside from my parents and my family.

        3. Orrin Konheim:

          DuVernay, who is African-American, told Entertainment Weekly. I was interested in … a heroine that looked like the girls I grew up with. DuVernay said she identified with some progressive ideas she found in L’Engle’s novel. She’s a very radical thinker and she embedded her sense of what society should and could be in this piece, and a lot of it I agree with. But does that mean her adaptation will adopt a political tone ? Experts say we shouldn’t jump to any conclusions about whatDuVernay’s final film will look like. Freelance journalist Orrin Konheim, who has written for The American Conservative, noted that many films, including The Manchurian Candidate, have been remade with African-American stars. Ava DuVernay’s casting choice seems like a non-issue.

        4. Donald Trump:

          I would like to have a much softer tone, i feel to a certain extent I have no choice, but maybe I do and maybe I could have been softer from that standpoint.

        5. Delacey Skinner:

          Castro went too far, tone-wise, the jab at Biden’s age was cringeworthy.

        How to use «Tone» in context?

        When talking about tone, it’s important to remember that there is no one right way to behave or speak.
