From woodwind instruments: Undertones may emerge as the tone component(s) of a note's sound which are lower in pitch than the frequency of the note.
Examples of woodwind undertones:
Every note above low-G on a GHB pipe chanter entails some undertone of low-G; the energy of the low-G undertone comes from the dual side-holes towards the bottom end of the pipe chanter.
Much more rarely considered is the sound - as undertone - which emerges from the very bottom of the chanter and might be termed: horntone, horn-note, belltone, or - most politely and concisely - the bellnote.
The practical (conventional) fingering of notes entails further undertones such as: low-A emerging with fingered E, and C(#) & B undertones but not low-A with fingered D.
Relevance: Ill-tuned lower notes may - as undertones - mess-up the practical sound (tuning) of higher notes.
Separate pipes of a pipe organ or of a GHB versus the pipe chanter - that is the drones - should not be practically discussed as undertones; they can be turned on and turned off, so each separate pipe is considered to produce its' own sound(s).
