Overtone Definition

Any frequency which are higher than fundamental frequency of a sound, we call them, overtone. And the fundamental sound consists of many overtones. This event is called partials. We, as musicians, would probably heard of harmonic, to be even more precise, harmonic partials. The harmonic partials are the numbers of frequencies whose integer multiple frequency of the fundamental, which also including the fundamental itself (1^st partial). However, partials, which are not whole number ratios of the fundamental, will be called inharmonic.
