The given statement is True

Explanation:

If two sounds slightly differ at their frequencies, the beats will be heard as a frequency which is equal to the difference between the two sources. This can be explained by the concept of difference tone.

Difference tone is referred as the combination tone whose frequency is calculated as the difference between the frequencies of the two tones generated, which is the case when bests are played at a different frequency.
