Everything we hear actually has overtones (or in other name - harmonic series). The overtones are what decides the timbre of the sound we hear. For example, a Clarinet only has odd numbered overtones (meaning that in the harmonic series, it skips the even ones), therefore giving us the timbre it gives us. btw, due to this fact, the soundwaves of the Clarinet have a square shape.
