Yes. Even something as simple as plucking a string will generate a main frequency, as well as the so-called "harmonics", which are the main frequency multiplied by 2, by 3, by 4, etc.

What do you hear when 2 sounds waves cancel each other out?
When two waves interact via deconstructive interference, then you would hear nothing if you stood in that exact spot. If two waves interact via constructive interference, then you would hear a sound that is the sum of both waves.
What are 2 examples of longitude waves?
well hear is more than 2 sound waves, waves in a slinky, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
Why can't we produce ultrasonic waves by loud speakers?
Loud speakers can produce ultrasonic waves. But since the normal purpose of loud speakers is to produce sounds for people to hear, there is seldom a reason to produce sounds that people can't hear (other than to annoy certain animals).
What property of sound allows you to hear sound waves around corners?
Because the sounds bounce off of walls.
Why we can hear sounds better in air then we can underwater.?
Because water conducts sound waves much better than air does.
To hear astronauts in space the sounds waves are converted to?
rocket
What kind of sounds would you hear at a tropical beach?
you would hear the waves wouldn't you and palm trees swaying

Why can't we hear when we have a lot of ear wax?
Because in order for us to hear, sound waves need to reach the eardrum - which vibrates - creating the sounds. Excessive earwax blocks the sound-waves reaching the eardrum, which reduces the volume of sounds.
Are there sounds we can not hear?
Human hearing is most effective in the range of about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Slightly lower frequency sounds may be heard or "felt." Some sounds outside this range can be heard by some individuals. Some animals have a wider range of hearing, such as dogs who can hear higher pitched (higher frequency) sounds.

What is the example problem of sound waves?
I think its the sounds that people can think they hear when they cant hear. Thats when Audiologists had to become psycic. Think if the deaf student can hear.
Why can bat hear much higher sounds than humans?
bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.

Can everyone hear sounds?
No, if you are born deaf or become deaf later in life, you are unable to hear sounds. However, some deaf people learn to "feel" sound waves, and therefore giving them some perception of sound.
What makes it possible for your ear to hear?
your ears pick up vibrations called sound waves in the air and we inperpret these as 'sounds'
