Similarly , the " rousing " or " joyous " timbre of a trumpet attests to its jagged array of harmonics .

同样的，小号那“振奋人心”或是“欢乐鼓动”的音色代表了其参差不齐的谐波组。

For the most part , music also falls into the range of what we can hear . Though some of the harmonics that give voices and instruments their characteristic sounds are beyond our hearing range , the effects they produce are not .

尽管有些独具特色的嗓音和乐器声的声波已超出了我们能听到的声波频率范围，但这些谐波所产生的声音的音波却仍在这个范围之内，所以我们能听到绝大部分音乐。

Most sounds consist not of pure notes of a single gorgeous oscillating sine wave , but of harmonics , overlaid multiples of those sine waves , and the brain seizes on them as one , just as it treats the left and right half of a painting or a tree as elements of a single object .

许多声音不仅包括单纯的单振动正弦波音调，还包括谐波以及正弦波覆盖音波，而大脑将这些作为整体记入，就像它将一副画或树的左右处理为同一物体的元素一样。

Every sound , at least theoretically , presents a complex system of harmonics built on a fundamental tone .

至少从理论上来说，每个声响都是根音及其泛音构成的复杂和声。

While these appliances consume active power , as they are nonlinear loads , they also output harmonics and consume reactive power .

而这些用电设备作为非线性负载在消耗有功功率的同时，释放出大量的谐波电流和吸收了大量的无功功率。
