 '''Overtone''' may refer to:
-* [[Harmonic]], a whole-number multiple of the fundamental frequency of a sound
+* [[Harmonic|Harmonics]] apart from the fundamental, which are whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequency. The ''n''th harmonic is the (''n-1)''th overtone.
-* [[Partial]], a sine wave component of a periodic sound
+* [[Partial]], a sine wave component of a periodic sound.
-Note: Many sources treat "overtone" and "harmonic" interchangeably, but this is not universal. This is why a specific definition is given on the page [[Partial]].
