Use of sounds from University website

[vingilot]

Want to know if I can commercially use sounds from the University of Iowa's music department that were posted ten years ago with this release: "Please feel free to use these samples in your research or music", thank you for your time. The samples are individual notes, not songs.

Sure you can use them.

In research or music. Not commercially.

In actuality it said research or music projects, but yes no real difference. Such a shame though it is so hard to find individual notes online.

How does one copyright a "note"?

I must be missing something. What is special here? My understanding of what a note is has to do with physics and the frequincy of a wave. I know it will be explained to me, but there may be a core problem here.
