Overtones; Overtone Number; Overtone number; Superharmonic; Superharmonics; Upper partial; Upper partial tone; Over tone

overtone         
¦ noun
1. a musical tone which is a part of the harmonic series above a fundamental note, and may be heard with it.
2. a subtle or subsidiary quality, implication, or connotation.
3. Physics a component of any oscillation whose frequency is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.
Origin
C19: from over- + tone, suggested by Ger. Oberton.
overtone         
(overtones)
If something has overtones of a particular thing or quality, it suggests that thing or quality but does not openly express it.
It's a quite profound story, with powerful religious overtones.
N-COUNT: usu pl, with supp
Overtone         
·noun One of the harmonics faintly heard with and above a tone as it dies away, produced by some aliquot portion of the vibrating sting or column of air which yields the fundamental tone; one of the natural harmonic scale of tones, as the octave, twelfth, fifteenth, ·etc.; an aliquot or "partial" tone; a harmonic. ·see Harmonic, and Tone.

Overtone

An overtone is any resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency of a sound. (An overtone may or may not be a harmonic) In other words, overtones are all pitches higher than the lowest pitch within an individual sound; the fundamental is the lowest pitch. While the fundamental is usually heard most prominently, overtones are actually present in any pitch except a true sine wave. The relative volume or amplitude of various overtone partials is one of the key identifying features of timbre, or the individual characteristic of a sound.

Using the model of Fourier analysis, the fundamental and the overtones together are called partials. Harmonics, or more precisely, harmonic partials, are partials whose frequencies are numerical integer multiples of the fundamental (including the fundamental, which is 1 times itself). These overlapping terms are variously used when discussing the acoustic behavior of musical instruments. (See etymology below.) The model of Fourier analysis provides for the inclusion of inharmonic partials, which are partials whose frequencies are not whole-number ratios of the fundamental (such as 1.1 or 2.14179).

When a resonant system such as a blown pipe or plucked string is excited, a number of overtones may be produced along with the fundamental tone. In simple cases, such as for most musical instruments, the frequencies of these tones are the same as (or close to) the harmonics. Examples of exceptions include the circular drum – a timpani whose first overtone is about 1.6 times its fundamental resonance frequency, gongs and cymbals, and brass instruments. The human vocal tract is able to produce highly variable amplitudes of the overtones, called formants, which define different vowels.
