I'm a bit surprised you would use anything other than sine waves as the harmonics in non-sinusoidal signals just add other mixes. For example, square waves + pythogorean has 256+384+768+1152+1280+1920+1792+2688+... Hz. (all the odd harmonics). Sawtooth is worse with *all* the harmonics. Sound in air is worse still since air mixes so you get the sums and differences of those as well.
