Yes the "heart beat" is just the sound of the valves opening and closing, not the sound of the blood being pumped.

How tachycardia cause loss of consciousness?

Tachycardia is a fast heart beat, which is greater than 100 beats per minute in an adult. When the heart rate is only slightly elevated, it does not cause any major problems. However when it is beating extremely fast (greater than 150 beats per minute in an adult), it can result in loss of consciousness. This is because if the heart is beating too fast, it does not have time to fill up with blood in between heart beats, so a heart that is beating that quickly is actually pumping out less blood than one that is beating at a normal rate. When the heart is pumping out less blood, not enough blood gets to the brain, and therefore not enough oxygen to the brain, since oxygen is carried in the blood. This is what causes loss of consciousness in extreme tachycardia. This is potentially a life threatening emergency, and needs to be treated in a hospital immediately.
