Thanks Dave, for the details on your results. Do you have any way of characterizing your process' margin of error? That is, could these sounds be absolutely exactly harmonic (short of noise components and human/random fluctuations in the entire tone of course), and your process could only detect their pitch within that accuracy (that of course being quite impressive accuracy)? Or is it more likely, in your view, that these pitch deviations from exact harmonic frequencies are very definitely present in the overtone structures of the tones?
