The beats are caused by the valves in the heart closing. The first beat occurs when the ventricles contract. The pressure in them increases, so the atrioventricular valves close. The second beat occurs when the ventricles relax. As the pressure decreases, blood is sucked back from the aorta and pulmonary artery causing the semi lunar valves to close.
