How can two different dog whistles operating at different frequencies be used to make sound audible to humans.  I thought this would be to that if there is two different frequencies at high frequencies, when they subtract for us to get our beat frequency, a lower frequency would remain. But I don't think  this is the correct answer.  Thank you for the help.
