Certain tunings will go better with a beat than others, depending on the tone of the beat.

Life example: A bassist can tune his bass to the perfect tone from comparing its sound to the sound of the drums. Then the guitar player(s) can tune their Guitars off the bass. The band's sound is now perfect. Then the vocalist, if there is one, uses the sound of the whole band, specifically drummer and lead guitarist, to direct his/her voice and help them figure out which parts of the song to sing or not sing, and crap like that I guess.

What is the formula for beat frequency?

What would the beat frequency be if you added tones of 880 Hz and 882 Hz?

The number of beats that we hear per second is the beat frequency. It is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two notes. In this case: Beat frequency = 882 Hz - 880 Hz = 2 Hz. This means that we will hear the sound getting louder and softer 2 times per second.


Two notes are sounding one of which is 370 Hz If a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard what is the other note's frequency?

The other note's frequency would be either 365 Hz or 375 Hz. Since the beat frequency is the difference in frequencies between the two notes, you can either subtract or add the beat frequency to the known frequency to determine the other note's frequency.


Two whistles produce sounds of wavelength 3.4 m and 3.3 m. What is the beat frequency produced?

The beat frequency is the difference between the frequencies of the two whistles. Here, the beat frequency would be 1 / (3.4 m) - 1 / (3.3 m) = 1 Hz.

How can one determine the beat frequency in a given system?

To determine the beat frequency in a given system, you can calculate it by finding the difference between the frequencies of the two interacting waves. The beat frequency is the frequency at which the amplitude of the resulting wave oscillates.


What should the beat frequency of two in-tunes instruments be?

What is it called when you play an instrument that keeps the beat?

Drums and percussion instruments keep the beat. A metronome keeps the beat but is not played by anyone and is not considered an instrument.

How do beats help determine whether two sound waves are the same frequency?

A sound known as a "beat frequency" will be heard when two sounds of almost (but not quite) the same frequency are mixed together. This is commonly heard when tuning a stringed instrument (such as a guitar) into itself, or when tuning to a standard pitch generator. If the string is vibrating at exactly the same frequency as the standard, then no beat frequency is heard. If the string is vibrating at a just slightly different frequency from the standard, then the interference between the two sounds is heard as a regular "beat". The frequency of the beat is exactly equal to the difference between the two frequencies i.e. if the standard is 440 Hz and the string is vibrating at 441 Hz, then a beat frequency of 1 Hz will be heard.


When a sound wave with a frequency of 256 Hz overlaps with a sound wave with a frequency of 250 Hz what would the frequency of the beats be?

The beat frequency would be 6 Hz, which is the difference between the two overlapping frequencies (256 Hz - 250 Hz). This is the rate at which the intensity of the sound will oscillate, creating a pulsating effect.


Two notes are sounding one of which is 370 Hz. If a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard what is the other notes frequency?

The other note's frequency would be either 365 Hz (370 - 5) or 375 Hz (370 + 5) depending on whether the beat frequency is the difference or the sum of the two frequencies.
