Homophone or homonym. Same sound, different meaning.

Homonyms, but for me, ferry and fairy don't sound the same.

they are homophones. antonym and synonym's have to do with spelling and homophones have to do with the sounds.
examples:
pear-pair
air-heir
fair-fare

they are called "homophones"... words that are spelled differently but sound the same... or spelled the same with different meanings...
