A justly-intonated “perfect fifth” in musical harmony is described by a frequency ratio of 3:2. A perfect fifth is a very pleasant pair of notes to hear. An “octave” is a culturally universal musical interval to recognize and can be described by the frequency ratio 2:1. An octave is just about as pleasant as it gets. A justly-intonated “major third” (with an octave in-between) can be described by a frequency ratio of 5:2. It is also very pleasant to hear.    Calculate the overtone (ringing frequency) from a 300 Hz pure tone (sine wave) when interfered with a 200 Hz pure tone in-phase (sounded at same time and place).

Calculate the overtone (ringing frequency) from a 300 Hz pure tone (sine wave) when interfered with a 200 Hz pure tone in-phase (sounded at same time and place). Note that the frequency ratio is 3:2.

Calculate the undertone (beat frequency) from a 300 Hz pure tone when interfered with a 200 Hz pure tone in-phase (sounded at same time and place).

What two musical intervals “pop out” by total surprise when a justly-intonated perfect fifth sounds based on the interference of two dissimilar frequencies? If one frequency was sung exclusively by one member of a duet perfectly, and the other frequency was sung exclusively by the other member of a duet, could you be sure you were hearing two voices?
