Can be either constructive or destructive. Sound waves?
The terms "constructive" and "destructive", in relation to waves, refer to interference. There can be interference with any kind of waves.
What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?
Constructive
When two sound waves destructively interfere what does it sound like?
Destructive interference cancels out the sound - so all you hear is silence.
Is echo constructive or destructive interference?
An echo is just the reflection of sound from a surface. As such it is neither constructive or destructive. These terms refer to the way sound waves combine with each other.
Is seismic waves interference constructive or destructive?
destructive most of the time

How is music affected in an auditorium when there is destructive interference of the sound waves?
Destructive interference is where two sound waves mix and cancel each other out to some extent. If destructive interference is occurring, the sound level will be lower than you would otherwise expect. A properly designed auditorium will use both destructive and constructive interference where required to achieve the desired clarity of sound.

What causes dead spots in a concert hall?
Destructive interference of the waves due to poor design of the building.
How do car silencers work?
*A silencer also known as a muffler and works on the principle of "Destructive Interference".*"Destructive Interference" is a topic which we usually learn in our graduation, in this topic two waves actually superimpose each other in such away that they get cancelled.* It consists of tubes which absorb the sound waves coming from the internal combustion engine and reflect them back with a phase difference of 180.Due to which the sound waves undergo what is called "Destructive Interference" and finally nullify each other.*But yet not all of the sound waves under "Destructive Interference" and hence there is always some amount of sound that we hear.

What is the two waves coming together to make a smaller wave?
Destructive interference.

Which is a way that acoustic engineers attempt to limit destructive interference of reflected sound waves in an auditorium?
Designing a space with a sound-absorbing tiles
The combining of waves as they meet is known as?
Interference. Constructive Interference, which is where the waves increase amplitudes and troughs when they overlap. Destructive Interference, which is where the waves cancel each other out when they overlap.
