@Ess: I’m thinking LCM (lowest common multiple). The waveforms will summate with that ‘beat’ frequency (1200Hz).

So the key is to produce a tone that cancels out the mosquitos tone of 1200Hz. No more mosquitos!

Can someone explain how the 400Hz and 600Hz frequencies are adding to make the 1200Hz overtone pitch?

i’m really glad i’m not the student who had to glue the strings to the mosquitoes. now that i think of it, i want my own grad student to boss around.
