Why is a high note and a low note still considered the same note in music?

For example, why are a C6 and a C4 both considered to be the note of C? They sound different, so why the repeated naming convention? Can people (without extensive musical training) hear some similarity between the two that indicates they are the same note?

The frequences of all sounds denoted by the same note relate to each other as 1:2:4:8:16:32:64:128:256. Yes, those same numbers from computer science.
