This doesn’t make any sense to me, these are just sounds, they don’t sound neither happy nor sad to me (when I try playing them on piano). But I’m new to music so I don’t know… Is there an explanation that actually makes sense?
In: Other
All sounds / notes have a certain wavelength, the closer two wavelengths are to each other, the “cleaner” it sounds
A “major” third is more in harmony than a “minor” third. Which is why old rock songs with distorted amps often use major chords, cuz they sound cleaner and thus “happier”
Chords like the triad sound “out of tune” because it’s as far from in harmony as you can get.
TLDR; minor chords are slightly more out of tune than a major chord.
