Thanks in advance, mainly I just need some examples.

Those links aren't exactly what I am looking for, I am trying to find out how to calculate inharmonies, specifically from hertz.
Please explain in detail what it is that you are looking for, do not make people guess.Qaiphyx said:Thanks in advance, mainly I just need some examples.
Inharmonics are sounds that are produced by vibrations that are not in a perfect harmonic relationship with one another. In simpler terms, they are sounds that are not in tune with each other and create a dissonant or unpleasant effect.
Inharmonics are the opposite of harmonics, which are sounds that are produced by vibrations that are in a perfect harmonic relationship with one another. Harmonics are what give musical instruments their distinct and pleasing tones, while inharmonics can create a more chaotic or discordant sound.
Examples of inharmonics can be found in everyday sounds, such as a car horn or a door slamming. In music, the most common example is the sound of a cymbal, which produces a range of inharmonic overtones when struck.
Inharmonics are measured using a unit called cents, which is a logarithmic unit of measure for musical intervals. The more cents an inharmonic sound is off from the perfect harmonic relationship, the more dissonant it will sound.
Inharmonics can be intentionally used in music to create a certain mood or effect. For example, a composer may use inharmonic tones in a horror movie soundtrack to create a sense of unease or tension. It can also be used in experimental or avant-garde music to create unique and unconventional sounds.
