Listening tests were conducted to find the audibility of inharmonicity in musical sounds produced by stringed instruments, such as the piano or the guitar. The audibility threshold of inharmonicity was measured at five fundamental frequencies. Results show that the detection of inharmonicity is strongly dependent on the fundamental frequency f0. A simple model is presented for estimating the threshold as a function of f0. The need to implement inharmonicity in digital sound synthesis is discussed.
