how can humans hear a note and replicate it?

Even if it’s not the same, it may still be close enough. How can we know what to do with the vocal chords in order to reproduce the sound?

Just to help you out on this, as nobody has mentioned it. They are vocal *cords*, not chords. They look like cords, so they are aptly named. A chord is a group of different notes that, when played together, produce a certain effect. (It’s also the front-to-back measurement on a wing of an airplane, but we digress…). The ability to immediately sing a note that they hear varies between people. Some have no pitch sense at all, and despite practice, never will get it. For others, it comes naturally. The amazing thing is when somebody can name a note they hear, or be able to join in with their own musical instrument, just by hearing what is being played. Those people have perfect pitch, which is tremendous for a musician to have.
