> Which is akin to dragging a single finger across different piano keys. Only a single frequency, or note, played at a time.
I think there's a key difference.
Assuming this is the spectrogram of single note being played on the Piano (https://soundshader.github.io/hss/gallery/piano/2.jpg) (which I can't be certain of, since the audio sample wasn't provided). Seems like a single piano note fires on multiple frequencies, and our ear 'aggregates' them so we hear it as a single note.
Songbird belts out a single frequency at each point in time. We still hear a single note but there's nothing to aggregate.
At least that's my interpretation of the parent comments. Again, can't be sure.
