    Pitch intervals between notes can be measured ordinally by counting the number of scale steps between them. Some intervals like the octave, perfect fifth and perfect fourth are considered consonant and sound harmonious together, while others like the tritone are dissonant and create tension that typically resolves to a consonance. The level of consonance or dissonance depends on factors like the size of the frequency ratio between the notes.
