Walking Beats

Walking Beats demonstrates the doppler effect at very slow (walking) velocities. Visitors walk between two loudspeakers which are producing notes which are only slightly different (1 Hertz). The "envelope" (or number of beats per second) can be made to increase or decrease in frequency as the visitor walks toward one or the other speaker, respectively.
