Note :
The use of the word tone ,
both for a sound and for the interval between two sounds or tones ,
is confusing ,
but is common --
almost universal .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Nearly every musical sound is composite ,
consisting of several simultaneous tones having different rates of vibration according to fixed laws ,
which depend upon the nature of the vibrating body and the mode of excitation .
The components (
of a composite sound )
are called partial tones ;
that one having the lowest rate of vibration is the fundamental tone ,
and the other partial tones are called harmonics ,
or overtones .
The vibration ratios of the partial tones composing any sound are expressed by all ,
or by a part ,
of the numbers in the series 1 ,
2 ,
3 ,
4 ,
5 ,
etc .;
and the quality of any sound (
the tone color )
is due in part to the presence or absence of overtones as represented in this series ,
and in part to the greater or less intensity of those present as compared with the fundamental tone and with one another .
Resultant tones ,
combination tones ,
summation tones ,
difference tones ,
Tartini '
s tones (
terms only in part synonymous )
are produced by the simultaneous sounding of two or more primary (
simple or composite )
tones .
