Beats arise when two close frequencies combine in unresolved filters

Related

  • Each open-end reflection filters out high frequencies until the fundamental remains (similarity 0.81)
  • Open pipe ends reflect low frequencies but pass high frequencies (similarity 0.80)
  • Dissonance depends on proportional separation falling inside the critical bandwidth, not absolute frequency difference (similarity 0.79)
  • A filter’s time response is set by its bandwidth, not its center frequency (similarity 0.79)
  • Frequency separation between two tones systematically shifts fusion, roughness, then resolution (similarity 0.78)

  • Dissonance depends on proportional separation falling inside the critical bandwidth, not absolute frequency difference
  • Each open-end reflection filters out high frequencies until the fundamental remains
  • Open pipe ends reflect low frequencies but pass high frequencies
  • Two coupled modes split above and below the test frequency, causing beat frequencies
  • Two tones sound rough until no single ear filter captures both
  • Unresolved harmonics smear together as frequency rises
