It’s easy to imagine visual perception in relation to qualia ie how do I know that the blue I see looks the same to you beyond identifying it eg the sky is blue. But I think it’s harder to imagine qualia in relation to sound, that is how could sound have a subjective essence that is possibly unique to each individual. I think you either hear something or you don’t.
The word timbre seems to make sense when it comes to the subjective perception of sound and when I try to focus on the timbre of the sound I am hearing I have thoughts of a universal resonent frequency but then I think that maybe that resonant frequency is unique to me hence qualia.
