All objects have a natural frequency or set of frequencies at which they vibrate. The quality or timbre of the sound produced by a vibrating object is dependent upon the natural frequencies of the sound waves produced by the objects.

Fundamental frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fundamental tone , often referred to simply as the fundamental and abbreviated f 0 or F 0 , is the lowest frequency in a harmonic series. In terms of a superposition of sinusoids (fo...

Equation of Motion : Natural Frequency ... When placed into motion, oscillation will take place at the natural frequency fn which is a property of the system. We now examine some of the basic concepts associated with the free vibration of systems with one degree of freedom.

Resonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at larger amplitude at some frequencies than at others. These are known as the system's resonant frequencies (or resonance frequenci...

A key aspect of structural dynamic analysis concerns the behavior of a structure at "resonance." The natural frequency of vibration of a structure --- whether a wood-frame house or a radio tower --- corresponds to that structure's resonant frequency.

The natural frequency is the frequency at which a particular object or system vibrates when pushed by a single force or impulse, and not influenced by other external forces or by damping.

By hanging weights on the end of spring, I determined the natural frequency. I did this by pulling the weights down and releasing them, measuring the spring's vertical motion in cycles per second. I then graphed my test results, finding a mathematical relationship between stiffness to frequency and mass to frequency.

Natural frequency is the frequency at which a system naturally vibrates once it has been set into motion. In other words, natural frequency is the number of times a system will oscillate (move back and forth) between its original position and its displaced position, if there is no outside interference.
