When two notes have frequencies a:b where b/a is rational, the interval between the two notes is within [[Just intonation]] and denoted b/a. If the two notes have frequency spectra where frequencies are multiples of the lowest frequency (as is the case with most methods of sound production, including the human voice, most instruments, and square/saw/triangle waves) the two notes will sound concordant when played at once. | When two notes have frequencies a:b where b/a is rational, the interval between the two notes is within [[Just intonation]] and denoted b/a. If the two notes have frequency spectra where all non-negligible frequencies are multiples of the lowest frequency (as is the case with most methods of sound production, including the human voice, most instruments, and square/saw/triangle waves) the two notes will sound concordant when played at once. | ||
