The harmonic series describes a pattern of frequencies naturally occurring as a real, physical (not theoretical or psychoacoustic) phenomenon. This phenomenon can be observed in ~~most~~ sounds.

The harmonic series describes a pattern of frequencies naturally occurring as a real, physical (not theoretical or psychoacoustic) phenomenon. This phenomenon can be observed in many pitched sounds.

The '''fundamental''' is the lowest frequency (or '''partial''') in a given harmonic series. While the fundamental is generally the main audible pitch of a given sound, the harmonic series contains an infinitely proliferating ~~sequence~~ of higher partials called '''overtones'''. With practice, one can learn to hear and identify specific overtones:
