It occurs when the amplitude of an audio signal exceeds the maximum level that a system can handle without introducing unwanted artifacts. This typically happens in analog and digital audio equipment, as well as in radio transmission systems.
When a signal is overmodulated, the peaks of the waveform are clipped, meaning they are flattened or
