Some note block sounds are out of tune

The bug

Some noteblock sounds are not in tune. Note that:

  1. Unless otherwise specified, these measurements were conducted using the fundamental pitches (pitch argument of 1) of these sounds played 20 times a second; i.e. The command used is /playsound <sound> master @a ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1 run in a repeating command block. These measurements can be verified with a tuning program or electronic equal tempered tuner.

  2. The sounds block.note_block.basedrum , block.note_block.hat , and block.note_block.snare are excluded from this list, as they are not instruments of definite pitch.

These sounds include:

  • The block.note_block.bass sound is sharp by about 15 cents

  • The block.note_block.cow_bell sound is sharp by about 22 cents (not out of tune when played at its lowest possible pitch of 0.5)

  • The block.note_block.didgeridoo sound is sharp by about 6 cents (sharp by 22 cents when played at its highest possible pitch of 2)

  • The block.note_block.guitar sound is sharp by about 19 cents

How to reproduce

  1. Open a new creative world

  2. Run the command /playsound minecraft:block.note_block.harp master @a ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1 in a repeating command block. You should notice that the note is an F# and is relatively in tune.

  3. Run the command /playsound minecraft:block.note_block.guitar master @a ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1 in a repeating command block. You should notice that the note is about 19 cents sharp.

It's actually closer to 18 or 19 cents sharp in the snapshots

In 1.13pre5 use block.note_block instead of block.note. The bug is still present

With the addition of the new noteblock sounds in 19w09a I decided to run through all the sounds and collect all the out of tune sounds into one bug report.
