Answer:

The interference of two sound waves of similar amplitude but slightly different frequencies produces a loud-soft-loud oscillation we call beats.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two objects vibrate at different frequencies, a fluctuating sound is heard, (loud-soft-loud). This phenomenon is known as beating. Loud sound is caused by constructive interference, and soft sound is caused by destructive interference.
