Harmonic Contribution:



It is interesting to examine the contribution of individual harmonics to a more complicated tone. First listen to a tone consisting of 20 equal-amplitude harmonics of 200 Hz. The individual harmonic components are removed after two seconds and replaced after two more seconds.

In replaying the demonstrations, examine your two modes of listening. Normally we listen to a tone 'holistically.' However we listen 'analytically' to detect the presence or absence of an individual harmonic.
