What beat frequency will occur when a 370 hz and a 374 hz sound source are sounded together?
The beat frequency occurs when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies are played together, and it is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the two frequencies. In this case, the beat frequency is |374 Hz - 370 Hz|, which equals 4 Hz. Therefore, a beat frequency of 4 Hz will be heard when the 370 Hz and 374 Hz sound sources are sounded together.
What beat frequency is produced by two tuning forks that vibrate simultaneously withe frequencies?
3.0 HZ
What frequency would you hear with a 340 Hz tuning fork near a guitar string vibrating at 350 Hz?
340 hz is the pitch or note that is sounding. It's the times the string would vibrate per second. By 350 hz guitar, I would get you would be playing a note on the low E string and it would sound sharp to the tuning fork. You would hear a subtle beat or pulsing when sounded together. That beat would get slower and slower as you loosened the string to bring the pitch down until it quit altogether. Your would then have that note tuned to 340 hz. BTW...standard tuning is called A440 meaning that the A note is tuned to 440hz.
Two tuning forks struck at the same time one tuning fork has a frequency of 20 hz while the second tuning fork has a frequency of 226 hz how many beats will result?
Number of beats heard in one second will be got by the difference between the parent frequencies. Hope you have given wrong data for parent frequencies. The first one has to be 220 Hz and the other is 226 Hz. Hence 6 beats will be heard in one second. If you say 20 is the right one then difference will be 206. If 206 beats get produced in one second it will not be named as beat at all. Moreover our hearing could not recognize this as beating at all. So better correct the given data.
Do piano tuners listen to the beat frequency between their tuning fork and the wire they are tuning?
Yes, they do. When the tuning fork (or the more modern electronic tone generator) is providing a reference tone, the tuner will strike a key and listen for a beat frequency between the reference and the piano string. With wrench in hand, the person tuning the instrument will take a bit of tension off the string, and will then increase the tension to bring the piano string "up" and equal to the frequency of the reference. The beat frequency will disappear as the tones become equal in frequency. It is the practice of the individuals tuning a piano to always bring a string of the instrument "up" to the frequency of the reference rather than "detuning" the string to lower the pitch and match it with the reference. With a bit of practice and patience ('cause you can always detune the string and "start over" to get it spot on), you can generally do a pretty good job of tuning the piano, though the professionals have been doing it for many years. These experienced folks have a good "ear" for the beat frequencies. The electronic references are modestly priced now, thanks to 21st century electronics. Note that there are cool electronic tuning units that will "listen" to the beat frequency and indicate to you when it disappears and a match has occurred. Our ears are generally fairly sensitive to the difference in the frequencies of two tones. When the tones "beat" on one another because they are being generated simultaneously, the difference between them is usually fairly obvious. Oh, and you are listening to the interference frequency between the two tones, which is what the beat frequency is. Certainly it's a bit of a challenge to accurately tune a piano, but many folks are fairly capable of doing it and only need a modicum of practice. Leave that big Steinway or Yamaha to the experts, but if you've got an old upright, have a go!

How are beats useful in tuning musical instruments?
By tuning musical instrument we mean that to produce a note of Desired frequency. Take a standard musical instrument of well defined frequency. The new musical instrument and the standard instrument are sounded together. Initially we will hear mixed sound due to slightly frequency difference between them. The frequency of the musical instrument is gradually adjusted till we will hear same sound. When this happens, the musical instrument Will produce the note of desired frequency and is said to be turned. In this way, beats become useful in tuning a musical 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.
Two clarinet players are tuning their instruments. One plays a perfect G at 352 hertz. The other is slightly sharp and plays at 359 hertz. What is the beat frequency in hertz?
The beat frequency is the difference between the two frequencies, so 359 - 352 = 7 hertz.
Do piano tuners listen to the beat frequency between their tuning fork and the wire they are tuning?
Yes, they do. When the tuning fork (or the more modern electronic tone generator) is providing a reference tone, the tuner will strike a key and listen for a beat frequency between the reference and the piano string. With wrench in hand, the person tuning the instrument will take a bit of tension off the string, and will then increase the tension to bring the piano string "up" and equal to the frequency of the reference. The beat frequency will disappear as the tones become equal in frequency. It is the practice of the individuals tuning a piano to always bring a string of the instrument "up" to the frequency of the reference rather than "detuning" the string to lower the pitch and match it with the reference.

How could you use beats to match one frequency to another 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.
A tuning fork of frequency 256Hz is vibrating near another tuning fork A beat pattern of frequency 6.6Hz is produced What can you say about the frequency of the second tuning fork?
Sounding two tuning forks at once will not give you one frequency. The "sound" that you hear will be a harmonic combination of the two frequencies. However because of acoustics the higher one (266Hz) will seem more prominent than the other.
How can the beat frequency be calculated in a system with two sound waves of slightly different frequencies?
The beat frequency in a system with two sound waves of slightly different frequencies can be calculated by subtracting the frequencies of the two waves. The beat frequency is the difference between the two frequencies, which creates a pulsating sound when heard together.
What is the formula for beat frequency?
f_b = |f_2 - f_1| 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.
