Abstract(in English) We have examined about the role of octave component in a complex tone. Two components with interval of an octave are known to locate on the same tone chroma and they are perceived to be equivalent. Here, we had runs of two experiments. The task of subjects was to make a decision whether a pure tone (probe) can be heard out from the harmonic complexes (stimuli). In the first experiment, components with intervals of the perfect fifth, the major third and the octave of the fundamental frequency are used as the probes, while harmonic complexes missing component of either perfect third or major fifth are used as the stimuli. In the second experiment, the perfect fifth and major third are used as the probes, and the harmonic complexes missing octaves as the stimuli. Results are as follows: 1) The octave component of fundamental frequency looks to mask the other components. 2) If octave components are missing, components in higher frequency are heard out seemingly better. 3) A component in the complexes comprising upper octave ones inclines to be heard out well.
