'''Tone''' may refer to:

* [[9/8]], the whole tone

* A [[unit of interval size]] exactly or approximately equal to 9/8 (~203.91{{cent}}) or to [[6edo|1\6]] (200{{cent}}) (see [[Major second (interval region)]])

* A sustained sound (see Wikipedia box)

* A [[pitch]], possibly taken from a [[chord]], a [[scale]] or a [[tuning system]]

~~From a technical perspective, the tone as an interval with frequency ratio~~ [[9/~~8|9~~/8]] ~~and a size of ca. 204~~ [[~~cent|cents~~]] ~~is exactly the same as the major diatonic second.~~
