Generation

Overtones determine timbre, which is the unique sound quality that distinguishes different instruments or voices playing the same note. The specific pattern and intensity of overtones present in a sound wave create its distinctive tonal color, allowing us to tell apart a piano from a violin even when they play identical pitches. This is why instruments have their characteristic sounds despite producing the same fundamental frequencies.
