<p>Have a play with one, two or three tones at once. </p>

<h3>Beats</h3>
|
|
<p>Start with one tone.</p>
|
|
<p>Now add a second tone and bring it close to the first tone.</p>
|
|
<p>You will notice "beats" as the two sounds interfere with each. Try for example 400 and 402. </p>
|
|
<p>Also try things like 800 and 402 etc.</p>
|
|
<p>You can add a third tone for fun, and make weird sci-fi sounds.</p>
|
|
<h3>Why</h3>
|
|
<p>Because the waves interact to create a new more complex wave.</p>
|
|
<p>Here we see how two waves (in this case of very different frequencies) make a new wave:</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="images/wave-superposition.svg" alt="wave superposition"></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<p>Now let's see what happens when the tones are <b>really close in frequency.</b></p>
|
|
<p>They will sometimes be "in sync" and make a bigger wave when added together:</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="images/beats-add.svg" alt="beats add"></p>
|
|
<p>Or they can be "out of sync" and cancel each other out:</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="images/beats-sub.svg" alt="beats subtract"></p>
|
|
<p>And we hear that change as beats.</p>
|
|
<p>Have a play with this graph (drag it left and right) to see it better: <a href="../data/function-grapheraaf5.html?func1=sin(8x)&func2=sin(7.9x)&func3=sin(8x)%2Bsin(7.9x)&xmin=-0.7&xmax=9.3&ymin=-3&ymax=3">Beats Graph</a>.</p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h3>Note about what we can hear</h3>
|
|
<p>We can't hear all tones. We are most sensitive to sounds between 1,000 and 4,000 Hz. The sounds played here are not an accurate hearing test though!</p>
