= Overtone
{wiki=Overtone}
Overtone can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few common interpretations: 1. **Music**: In music, an overtone is a frequency that is higher than the fundamental frequency of a sound. When an instrument or voice produces a note, it vibrates at a fundamental frequency, but it also generates additional frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental (harmonics). These overtones contribute to the richness and timbre of the sound.
