Notes separated by octaves are like higher and lower versions of the same note.
If a deep-voiced person and a high-voiced person sing the same tune together (without either straining), then they are singing one (or more) octaves apart.
Assuming they are singing in tune with each other, otherwise it will sound more like Chick Corea demonstrates here:

- taejo 6y ago> Notes separated by octaves are like higher and lower versions of the same note. I don't know if this is an in-born ability or a cultural one, but I can say that I (for one) don't have any perceptual sense of "sameness" in an octave. To me, two keys with the same letter-name on a piano make two different notes, just like any other interval (though I'm not saying that the different intervals don't sound different). This may be a form of amusia, but I enjoy music, sing to myself, recognize melodies, and find the dissonant Happy Birthday in your link unpleasant (all of which contrasts strongly with the forms of amusia I've read about); on the other hand a lot of the things that people say about music don't mean much to me, except that in some cases I have a mathematical understanding which I can't really connect to a perception.
