    When you play two notes a wide interval apart on the piano - like a 5th, you hear two distinct pitches. But if you play two notes really close to each other - having a frequency of less than about 30 Hz between them, like a semitone - then we don’t hear two distinct pitches. Instead we hear the a single note at the average frequency, but with a volume which goes up and down over time. This variance in volume is called a ‘beat’ - and creates a ‘wah-wah-wah’ sound. And these beats happen at the difference in frequencies between the notes.

    i could hear ut from the first change, because i've good speakers hear, you can hear the wavelength, and in the first change you can clearley hear the slow wave lenght and changing more eventually going up more and more

    This is music for my ears! Thank you! And finally I've understood why lots of violins together sound so velvety while one alone sounds raspy.

    You can hear missing fundamental as soon as beat frequency is high enough.

    Well done. I didn't quite get the second order beat sound at the end. Maybe you could expand this topic in a second video.
