Overtone is a higher frequency in sound. Undertone is the lower/ under frequency in sound. Undertone is also known to mean implied tendency or meaning or a pale or subdued color.

Can you use undertone in a sentence?

They stepped aside and the policeman spoke in an undertone, urging something strongly. The undertone is that they're accelerating but that's an unjustified conclusion from the data. The difference, however, is in the moralistic undertone usually sensed in the former.


What is the difference between the first harmonic and first overtone?

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.


The relationship between a fundamental and the overtones associated with it?

The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone! Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic. 2nd harmonic = 1st overtone. 3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone. 4th harmonic = 3rd overtone. 5th harmonic = 4th overtone. 6th harmonic = 5th overtone.

What is the difference between overtone and harmonic in the context of music theory?

In music theory, an overtone is a higher frequency sound that is produced along with the fundamental frequency when a musical note is played. A harmonic, on the other hand, is a specific type of overtone that is a whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency. Essentially, all harmonics are overtones, but not all overtones are harmonics.


What is the difference between complex tones and forced vibrations?

A forced vibration is due to an applied force. A tone consisting of a fundamental and a overtone, may be said to be complex


What is the difference between green and kelly green?

"Green" is an umbrella term for all shades of green. "Kelly Green" is a specific shade of green with a slight yellow undertone.


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.


What is the difference between 'extreme' and 'very difference'?

Extreme is a more powerful version of "very". It also has a negative undertone - "extreme" generally has the implication of "something being so above/below average that it could have bad consequences".


What is difference between overtone and harmonics?

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.

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.
