A musical note produced by a number of vibrations which is a multiple of the number producing some other; an overtone. See Harmonics.
Also called overtones, these are vibrations at frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental. Harmonics extend without limit beyond the audible range. They are characterized as even-order and odd-order harmonics. A second-order harmonic is two times the frequency of the fundamental; a third order is three times the fundamental; a fourth order is four times the fundamental; and so forth. Each even-order harmonic: second, fourth, sixth, etc.-is one octave or multiples of one octave higher than the fundamental; these even-order overtones are therefore musically related to the fundamental. Odd-order harmonics, on the other hand: third, fifth, seventh, and up-create a series of notes that are not related to any octave overtones and therefore may have an unpleasant sound. Audio systems that emphasize odd-order harmonics tend to have a harsh, hard quality.
A weaker overtone or undertone of the original note responsible for the character of the note.
A frequency that is a multiple of another frequency. Thus frequencies of 200 kHz and 400 kHz would be harmonic.
these are upper parts of a note, related to the fundamental which are played by touching a string a certain points. Creates a chiming sound.
A form of electrical interference caused commonly by electronic equipment. Various non standard waveforms are mixed with the standard supply waveform. This causes strange voltages and currents to appear at certain frequencies.
(1) In acoustics, a synonym for overtone or partial; (2) in string playing, a high-pitched, whistling tone made by bowing a lightly stopped string. harmonic minor scale The scale that results from flatting the third and sixth degrees of the major scale. harmonic rhythm The rate at which harmony changes and the degree of regularity with which it changes.
