It is a very distinctive "blending" sound. If our Sol was tuned to, for example, 148 Hz, its second harmonic component would be at 296 Hz, and the two tones played together would not meld together at 300 Hz, but would "beat". That is, we would hear a throbbing sound, the "beat rate" of which is found by reckoning the distance in Hertz between the two near-coincident partials. In this case, 300 - 296 = 4 Hz, so we'd hear a beating of four times a second (this is like a rhythm of eighth notes at a metronome marking of 120 beats per minute). This melding and beating makes it easy to sing JI intervals. | So 150 300 450 600 750 900 1050 1200 1350 ...</pre>These partials will "meld" when our Do and Sol are played together.
