Harmonic distortion is most simply characterised by an output which is not proportional to the input, but can be derived from the input by some function or other.
Outputs which bear no relation to the input are instanced by noise, hum, motor-boating, or crackles, and are not harmonic distortion.
Distorted outputs which are related to the input are in practice mostly due to a non-linearity in one or more stages, an overdrive condition, or an unbalanced phase splitting process before a push-pull output stage.
Note. people have spent their whole lives on this, and books have been written. If you need to know more . . . . .
Harmonic distortion belongs to all amplifiers, loudspeakers and simply all electrical equipment you use. When it comes to audio, the only effect you will hear is a constant resonant low noise if the speakers aren't good at handling harmonic distortion. None of the Bose speakers I have tested so far produce that noise, so you don't have to worry about that.
Total harmonic distortion is a measurement of harmonic distortion in an object and is the percentageÊof the powers of all the harmonic components of the object. The THD of a diesel generator is between 15% and 20%.

distortion refers to any deviation in any parameter like amplitude,time shape of an electrical signal from an ideal input signal.the distortion occurs due to the inherent non-linear characteristics of the component and devices that form the electronic circuit cause some harmonics to take place in the waveform and resultant deviation is know as harmonic distortion.

Most guitar amplifiers have distortion channels built-in. Typically a foot-switch is used to switch from "distortion" to "clean".
THDI stands for Total Harmonic Distortion- Apsilal
Total Harmonic Distortion is an important phenomenon while selecting a UPS. AC Harmonic content (THD-Voltage) shall be <= 3% for linear load and <=5% for non linear load.
To reduce harmonic distortion, you can use higher quality components in your audio equipment, ensure proper grounding and shielding to minimize interference, and use digital signal processing tools to correct any distortion in the signal. Additionally, keeping signal levels within the optimal range and avoiding overloading the equipment can also help reduce harmonic distortion.

Crossover distortion is a type of distortion which is caused by switching between devices driving a load, most often when the devices (such as a transistor) are matched. It is most commonly seen in complementary, or "push-pull", Class-B amplifier stages, although it is occasionally seen in other types of circuits as well
