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.

∙ 10y agoWhen you add two waveforms in a non-linear medium they produce sum and difference frequencies. So if you have a tuning fork and a piano string, you hear a difference frequency as an amplitude modulation on the basic tone - the tone appears to get louder and softer at regular intervals. So you tune the string by tightening or loosening it, and when it is in tune, the beat frequency drops to zero and you don't hear the beats anymore.
