Best Answer

When listening to a song, you may find yourself tapping your foot or moving in a regular manner. If so, you were responding to the "beats" of the music. Beats are the regular, repeated pulses underlying a piece of music.

Beats play an important organisation role in music. They are also used to measure the duration of sounds and silences.
