Perhaps you should explain what you mean by overtone as it is at odds with both my understanding of the term as a vibrational mode of an object (as in acoustics) higher than the fundamental or lowest frequency vibrational mode and the definition given in Webster's dictionary (My Oxford dictionary is buried somewhere) which insists that overtone is synonomous with harmonic. My understanding is that the phrase "an overtone of a 1Hz" has no real meaning.
