Harmonic Series Calculator
Calculate harmonic overtones and frequencies
Back to Calculator Suite
How it works: Enter a fundamental frequency to calculate its harmonic series. The harmonic series forms the basis of musical intervals and overtones that give instruments their unique timbre.
Harmonic Series Information
- Fundamental: The base frequency that determines the pitch
- Harmonics: Integer multiples of the fundamental frequency
- Overtones: Harmonics above the fundamental (2nd harmonic = 1st overtone)
- Timbre: The unique sound quality created by harmonic content
- Intervals: Harmonic relationships form musical intervals
