From an acoustic standpoint, the goldonic series contains some "harmonic-like" characteristics despite being inharmonic. Because each term is equal the difference between the next highest and next lowest terms, a phenomenon similar to modelocking can occur (in which each oscillator becomes entrained to the difference tone generated by its nearest-neighbors). | From an acoustic standpoint, the goldonic series contains some "harmonic-like" characteristics despite being inharmonic.

Also, unlike the harmonic series, the goldonic series can be in theory extended infinitely in ''both'' directions and contains no fundamental. | Also, unlike the [[harmonic series]], the goldonic series can be in theory extended infinitely in ''both'' directions and contains no fundamental. | ||
