Is there some inherent quality in the frequencies that make them notes, or is it just an arbitrary human construct?

Musical notes all have mathematical relationships with one another. However, the particular set of frequencies that that are typically used for music is more arbitrary. You could tune an entire ensemble of instruments slightly off the normal frequencies used and most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference as long as they use the same set of frequencies relative to each other.
