Remarque: Un système vibratoire peut vibrer de diverses façons, chacune donnant, en plus du son fondamental, des sons dits partiels. Par exemple, un diapason dont le son fondamental à pour fréquence 261Hz (do3) à pour premier partiel une vibration de fréquence 827 Hz (sol3dièse) qui n'est pas un harmonique du son fondamental. Il ne faut pas confondre partiels et harmoniques. 1, record 1, French, - harmonique%20du%20son%20fondamental
