A standing wave. The red dots are the wave nodes. A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude.For instance, in a vibrating guitar string, the ends of the string are nodes.

In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. With tuning instruments that can produce sustained tones, beats can be readily recognized.
In modern parlance, if a string sounds the note C when plucked, a string twice as long will sound a C an octave lower. In one system of musical tuning , the tones in between are then given by 16:9 for D, 8:5 for E, 3:2 for F, 4:3 for G, 6:5 for A, and 16:15 for B, in ascending order.
In balanced audio systems, there are equal and opposite signals (difference-mode) in inputs, and any interference imposed on both leads will be subtracted, canceling out that interference (i.e., the common-mode). CMRR is a measure of a system's ability to ignore such interference and especially hum at its input.
Impulse noise is a category of noise that includes unwanted, almost instantaneous (thus impulse-like) sharp sounds (like clicks and pops)—typically caused by electromagnetic interference, scratches on disks, gunfire, explosions, pickleball play, and synchronization issues in digital audio.
An acoustic interferometer is an instrument that uses interferometry to measure the physical characteristics of sound waves in a gas or liquid.It may be used to measure velocity, wavelength, absorption, or impedance of the sound waves.
Speech Interference Level (SIL) is an acoustical parameter calculated from sound pressure levels measured in octave bands.It is used to characterize a noise signal in the frequency range where the human ear has its highest sensitivity.
