These exercises will help you tell apart the individual notes of the most common triads. The full playlist is available on my Patreon for 1$ with audio downloads, but will gradually be made available on this channel for free. See below for links and a listener's guide.

I believe that it is important for you to learn what the individual notes of a chord sound like (arpeggios) before you learn what the chord itself sounds like. Whenever I hear an unfamiliar chord, I sing the individual notes to try to figure it out. You can't do this until you've learned the arpeggios.
Major Triad Arpeggio - Begins with a major 3rd and then ascends up to a perfect 5th above the root. This is the "default" chord that our ears are really used to hearing.
Minor Triad Arpeggio - Begins with a minor 3rd and then ascends up to a perfect 5th above the root. It's the same as the major arpeggio, with the exception of that minor 3rd. It has a generally darker sound than major chords.
Augmented Arpeggio - Two consecutive major 3rds. The root up to the sharp 5th is an augmented 5th (same as a minor 6th). This is known as a linear chord because it is the same interval stacked continuously. Because of this, only 4 variations of the augmented chord are possible because at a certain point, you start getting the same notes in a different order.
Diminished Arpeggio - Two consecutive minor 3rds. The root up to the flat 5th is a tritone (also known as a diminished 5th or augmented 4th.) This is known as a linear chord because it is the same interval stacked continuously. Because of this, only 3 variations of the diminished chord are possible because, at a certain point, you start getting the same notes in a different order.
It's difficult to tell apart Augmented and Diminished triads. Diminished chords are a bit tighter sounding because their outer notes don't span as far as an augmented chord. One trick that I've done is to pick a note in the chord and try to sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb." This should only work for Augmented chords because of how the intervals are stacked.
