Generation

# The Overtone Series The overtone series is the sequence of frequencies produced by a vibrating object: the **fundamental frequency (f)** plus integer multiples called overtones or harmonics: **2f, 3f, 4f, 5f...** and so on to infinity, with decreasing amplitude at higher frequencies. ## Why It Matters This series is fundamental to music because it determines **timbre** (why a violin sounds different from a flute playing the same note), forms the acoustic basis for **consonance and dissonance** in harmony (intervals lower in the series sound more consonant), and explains why certain scales and tuning systems developed naturally across cultures. The overtone series is a physical phenomenon present in nearly all musical sounds, making it the acoustic foundation upon which musical systems are built.
