I'm unable to listen to audio, so I can't identify the type of triad you're hearing. However, I can help explain the characteristics of each type of triad:

  • Major Triad: Has a bright and happy sound, consisting of a root, major third, and perfect fifth.
  • Minor Triad: Sounds more somber or melancholic, made up of a root, minor third, and perfect fifth.
  • Augmented Triad: Has a tense and unresolved quality, created from a root, major third, and augmented fifth (which is a raised fifth).
  • Diminished Triad: Has a tense and unstable sound, formed from a root, minor third, and diminished fifth (which is a lowered fifth).

If you can describe the sound, I can help you determine which triad it might be!

its a piano sound

Thank you for the additional information! If the sound you hear on the piano has the following characteristics, you can deduce the type of triad:

  1. Major Triad: If it sounds bright and uplifting, with a clear and harmonious quality, it's likely a major triad.

  2. Minor Triad: If the sound feels more somber, sad, or darker, it's likely a minor triad.

  3. Augmented Triad: If it sounds tense or unresolved, with a somewhat unsettling feeling, it may be an augmented triad.

  4. Diminished Triad: If the sound is sharp and tense, with a feeling of instability or dissonance, it's probably a diminished triad.

Try to identify the tonal quality based on those descriptions. If you can describe how the triad feels to you, I can help you further narrow it down!
