Overtone may refer to:

  • Harmonic, a whole-number multiple of the fundamental frequency of a sound
  • Partial, a sine wave component of a periodic sound

Note: many sources treat "overtone" and "harmonic" interchangeably, but it is not universal. This is why a specific definition is given on the page Partial.
