Spectrum of a synthesized vowel sound/∊/(as in “bet”), with an F0 of 125 Hz. Note the locations of the individual harmonics at integer multiples of 125 Hz, which determine the F0, and the locations of the spectral peaks, or formants, at around 500, 2100, and 2800 Hz, which determine the vowel's identity.
