Resultant tone : ウィキペディア英語版
Combination tone

A combination tone (also called resultant or subjective tone〔"(Combination Tone )", ''Britannica.com''. Accessed September 2015.〕) is a psychoacoustic phenomenon of an additional tone or tones that are artificially perceived when two real tones are sounded at the same time. Their discovery is credited to the violinist Giuseppe Tartini (although he was not the first, see Sorge) and so are also called Tartini tones.
There are two types of combination tones: sum tones whose frequencies are found by adding the frequencies of the real tones and difference tones whose frequencies are the difference between the frequencies of the real tones. "Combination tones are heard when two pure tones (i.e., tones produced by simple harmonic sound waves having no overtones), differing in frequency by about 50 cycles per second or more, sound together at sufficient intensity."〔
Combination tones can also be produced electronically by combining two signals in a circuit that has nonlinear distortion, such as an amplifier subject to clipping or a ring modulator.
==Explanation==
One way a difference tone can be heard is when two tones with fairly complete sets of harmonics make a just fifth. This can be explained as an example of the missing fundamental phenomenon.〔Beament, James (2001). ''How We Hear Music'', . The Boydell Press. ISBN 0-85115-813-7.〕 If f is the missing fundamental frequency, then 2f would be the frequency of the lower tone, and its harmonics would be 4f, 6f, 8f, etc. Since a fifth corresponds to a frequency ratio of 2:3, the higher tone and its harmonics would then be 3f, 6f, 9f, etc. When both tones are sounded, there are components with frequencies of 2f, 3f, 4f, 6f, 8f, 9f, etc. The missing fundamental is heard because so many of these components refer to it.
The specific phenomenon that Tartini discovered was physical. Sum and difference tones are thought to be caused sometimes by the non-linearity of the inner ear. This causes intermodulation distortion of the various frequencies which enter the ear. They are combined linearly, generating relatively faint components with frequencies equal to the sums and differences of whole multiples of the original frequencies. Any components which are heard are usually lower, with the most commonly heard frequency being just the difference tone, f_2-f_1, though this may be a consequence of the other phenomena. Although much less common, the following frequencies may also be heard:
:2f_1 - f_2, 3f_1 - 2f_2, \ldots, f_1 - k(f_2 - f_1)
For a time it was thought that the inner ear was solely responsible whenever a sum or difference tone was heard. However, experiments show evidence that even when using headphones providing a single pure tone to each ear separately, listeners may still hear a difference tone. Since the peculiar, non-linear physics of the ear doesn't come into play in this case, it is thought that this must be a separate, neural phenomenon. Compare binaural beats.
Heinz Bohlen proposed what is now known as the Bohlen–Pierce scale on the basis of combination tones,〔Max V. Mathews and John R. Pierce (1989). "The Bohlen–Pierce Scale", p.167. ''Current Directions in Computer Music Research'', Max V. Mathews and John R. Pierce, eds. MIT Press.〕 as well as the 833 cents scale.
