For example, we hear the distance between any two notes an octave apart as the same—so we hear the distance from 110 Hz to 220 Hz as being the same as the distance from 440 Hz to 880 Hz. Therefore, we use the system of pi ...

Microtonal music
Microtonal music or microtonality is the use in music of microtones—intervals smaller than a semitone, which are also called ""microintervals"". It may also be extended to include any music using intervals not found in the customary Western tuning of twelve equal intervals per octave.
