Where does the beat come from? An audible beat tone is produced by the constructive and destructive interference between two sound waves in air. Look at a pictorial representation (in the time domain) of the sum of sine waves,of similar amplitudes, one at, say, 1000 Hz and the other at 1005, and you'll see it. Bob M. I beg to differ. There's no mixing happening in the air. compression of air is very linear (Boyles Law or PV=constant). In general, that's true, but take a look at what happens in the throats of high-powered horn loudspeakers. You can find info in e.g. "Acoustics" by Beranek. Isaac Red herring. |
