The simple tones of an instrument are called harmonics or overtones.

Now what you are describing is called harmonics.

Thus, in music, overtones are often called harmonics.

However, there can be additional vibrations in the string at the same time called "harmonics" that "stack on top" of the main vibration.

It says he's working on something called mechanical harmonics ..." She looked over her shoulder again.

These sinusoids are called harmonics, overtones, or generally, partials.

Together, they make a set of functions called spherical harmonics.

These are called harmonics and have frequencies that are 2*f, 3*f, 4*f, 5*f..

These multiples are called harmonics of the fundamental frequency, and the process is termed harmonic analysis.

In addition to the basic pitch, called the fundamental, each note contains a series of frequencies called overtones or harmonics.
