It's also the shape of the wave. Sawtooth waves are buzzier or "brighter" than sine waves, for example.

- analog31 3y agoFor periodic signals the waveform and the overtone series precisely determine one another.
- mrob 3y agoAnd the human ear is mostly insensitive to phase of those overtones, so you can have waves with visually very different waveform that sound identical.
