The bug
Some noteblock sounds are not in tune. Note that:
Unless otherwise specified, these measurements were conducted using the fundamental pitches (
pitchargument of 1) of these sounds played 20 times a second; i.e. The command used is/playsound <sound> master @a ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1run in a repeating command block. These measurements can be verified with a tuning program or electronic equal tempered tuner.The sounds
block.note_block.basedrum,block.note_block.hat, andblock.note_block.snareare excluded from this list, as they are not instruments of definite pitch.
These sounds include:
The
block.note_block.basssound is sharp by about 15 centsThe
block.note_block.cow_bellsound is sharp by about 22 cents (not out of tune when played at its lowest possible pitch of 0.5)The
block.note_block.didgeridoosound is sharp by about 6 cents (sharp by 22 cents when played at its highest possible pitch of 2)The
block.note_block.guitarsound is sharp by about 19 cents

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.
Might relate to MC-178932?
It's actually closer to 18 or 19 cents sharp in the snapshots
