Au le contraire!
Without being a specialist in Indian music, I would expect that "om"
contains LOADS of overtunes, because a mere sine wave sounds inherently
un-Indian! :-D
Hmm, well, the dynamic range of the universe may very likely be
infinitely large, but [un]fortunately our mortal ears are not, so that
startup transient from years back has decidedly faded into the expanse
of the numinous, and is no longer apparent to the casual listener.
Very gratifying, nevertheless, to find scientific theory so deeply at
one with the mysticism of the "unstruck sound". Everything we hear is
indeed an illusion, while everything we cannot hear is the true reality.
I struck a note on one of my singing bowls a few days ago. My ears can
no longer detect its tone, but the above theory assures me that it is
assuredly still singing, and moreover its Cosmic Vibrational Energy thus
raised will never stop. I do not always manage to persuade people of
this, but at last I have an irrefutable scientific basis for it with
which not even Mr Dawkins could possibly argue!
