Generation

When two sound waves with slightly different frequencies play simultaneously, they alternately reinforce and cancel each other as they drift in and out of phase. This creates a periodic variation in loudness called "beats," which you hear as a rhythmic pulsing sound. The beat frequency—how many pulses you hear per second—equals the absolute difference between the two original frequencies. For example, a 440 Hz and 443 Hz tone played together produce 3 beats per second.
