Beat (acoustics)

In acoustics, a exhausted is an arrest amid two sounds of hardly altered frequencies, perceived as alternate variations in aggregate whose amount is the aberration amid the two frequencies.

With affability instruments that can aftermath abiding tones, beats can readily be recognized. Affability two tones to a accord will present a appropriate effect: if the two tones are abutting in angle but not yet identical, the aberration in abundance generates the beating. The aggregate varies like in a tremolo as the sounds alternately baffle constructively and destructively. If the two tones gradually access unison, the assault slows down and disappears.
