    Beats occur when two sounds of slightly different frequencies are produced together. The interference between the sound waves causes the overall sound to get louder and softer rhythmically. The frequency of this rhythmic variation is called the beat frequency, and it equals the absolute difference between the frequencies of the two original sounds. An example is provided of a 10Hz and 12Hz sound wave combining to produce a beat frequency of 2Hz, as shown by the overlapping pressure patterns of the individual waves and the resulting beat wave pattern.

    sound waves of different frequency constructive and destructive interference causes the sound to be alternatively soft and loud - a phenomenon which is called "beating" The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves.

    Beat Wave Pattern

    A 10-Hz sound wave and a 12-Hz sound wave, when added together, produce a wave with a beat frequency of 2 Hz. The drawings show the pressure patterns (in blue) of the individual waves and the pressure pattern (in red) that results when the two overlap.
