The '''subharmonic series''' (or '''undertone series''') is a sequence of ~~notes~~ generated by unit-fraction frequency [[ratio]]s under a fundamental: [[1/1]], 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7... ad infinitum. Each member of this series is a [[subharmonic]]; the term ''undertone'', which is not an exact synonym, is also used in the same sense by many people (especially because undertones are rarely conceived as partials of a sound's timbre).

The '''subharmonic series''' (or '''undertone series''') is a sequence of [[Pitch|tone]]s generated by unit-fraction frequency [[ratio]]s under a fundamental: [[1/1]], 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7... ad infinitum.
