A '''frequency ratio''' (often shortened to '''ratio''') is the relationship between the frequencies of the [[pitch]]es of two or more notes. For example, a piano string vibrating at 110 Hz (110 times per second) and a piano string vibrating at 220 Hz are in a 2:1 ratio (since 220/110 reduces to 2/1). | A '''frequency ratio''' (often shortened to '''ratio''') is the relationship between the frequencies of the [[pitch]]es of two or more notes.
