Why do musical chords that have a “7” in them, have the same kind of tone?

239 views

I’m not sure how to explain it, every chord that has a 7 in it (which I’m still not sure what it means) sound the same, in a kind of way. Again, im not sure how to articulate it correctly. If anyone can help, I’d appreciate it!

Every same kind of chord has a similar sound.

Major chords have a bright, happy, simple sound.

Minor chords have a sad, dark sound.

Diminished Chords are tense, unpleasant.

Major 7th Chords sound jazzy.

Minor 7th Chords sound moody.
