so are the resonances of vibrating superstrings acoustic/harmonic? or would they be mechanical resonances or both acoustic/mechanical resonance? hope that makes sense.

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is all around us. Indeed, I understand that superstring theory embraces the notion of vibration in harmony. In fact the resonance of the superstrings is what gives rise to the manifestation of matter. Newton's First Law would be better expressed as "Every object moves in a manner dictated by simple harmonic motion."

The same equations that determine the mechanical resonant modes of a phsysical string describe the energy strings in string theory. The resonances are therefore the same. Acoustical resonance usually refers to wave cancellation and reinforcement in an enclosure. They are not described by these same equations.

Of course. All lines of force producing oscillation will interact to result in resonence. Whether that force is mechanical or mathematical in nature is still open to interpretation.
