Interference of sound waves occurs when one sound wave is not in phase with another. Graphically, this means that the sin/cos function representing the second wave does not line up exactly with the first one and the differences in sounds that result interfere with each other.

∙ 14y agoWhen two or more waves interact and combine, they interfere with one another. But interference is not necessarily bad: waves may interfere constructively, resulting in a wave larger than the original waves. Or, they may interfere destructively, combining in such a way that they form a wave smaller than the original ones.

What occurs when sound waves overlap and combine?
interference
Can be either constructive or destructive. Sound waves?
The terms "constructive" and "destructive", in relation to waves, refer to interference. There can be interference with any kind of waves.
Why does resonance make sound louder?
Because the constructive interference of the sound waves.
Do interference effects occur for sound waves?
Yes, indeed!
What is the combination of two or more sound waves can cuase?
An interference pattern
What do two sound waves make?
Two sound waves may make an interference pattern.
Can sound form interference pattern?
Interference is a phenomenon meant for waves. Being sound a wave, though longitudinal, it can form the interference pattern.
What is it called sound waves interact with each other?
the interaction between sound waves is called interference.

The combination of two or more sound waves can cause?
The combination of two or more sound waves can cause what is known as interference.

An interference pattern
How is music affected in an auditorium when there is destructive interference of the sound waves?
Destructive interference is where two sound waves mix and cancel each other out to some extent. If destructive interference is occurring, the sound level will be lower than you would otherwise expect. A properly designed auditorium will use both destructive and constructive interference where required to achieve the desired clarity of sound.
