What is the relationship between a fundamental not and it's overtone?

An overtone is a higher frequency vibration that occurs simultaneously with the fundamental note. The overtone's frequency is always a multiple of the fundamental note's frequency, which gives each instrument or voice its unique timbre.

How do you calculate overtones and fundamental frequency?

By using the fundamental note (lets say A at 220 hz) the first overtone will be 220 hz + itself = 1st Overtone 440hz, The next overtone is the fundament + the first overtone = 660 hz, The third will be 660hz + the fundamental = 880 hz, and so on f= Fundamental Note (or frequancy) f+f = First overtone f+ First overtone= Second overtone f+ second overtone = Third overtone ect, ect, ect, This formula continues as until you with to stop calulating.


What is the definition of overtone?

The complete definition of an overtone is any frequency that is higher than the fundemental frequency of sound. When an overtone and a fundemental frequecy are together, this is called a partial.

What is the overtone series?

The overtone series is a series of frequencies that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency of a sound. When a musical instrument produces a note, it actually produces a complex waveform that includes the fundamental frequency and various overtones. These overtones give each instrument its unique tone color or timbre.


How are overtones created?

An overtone is a natural resonance or vibration frequency of a system. Systems described by overtones are often sound systems, for example, blown pipes or plucked strings. If such a system is excited, a number of sound frequencies may be produced, including a fundamental tone of given frequency. An integer multiple of the fundamental frequency is called a harmonic. The second overtone is not the second harmonic. (See related link "Calculations of Harmonics and Overtones from Fundamental Frequency")


What is the difference between the fundamental and overtones?

The first harmonic is the fundamental. The second harmonic the first overtone. The third harmonic the second overtone. The fourth harmonic the third overtone. Even-numbered harmonics are odd-numbered overtones. Odd-numbered harmonics are even-numbered overtones.
