So far as I know, the word "hear" is very important because (so far as I
have read) a difference tone is manufactured by flesh in the human ear,
not by interference or summation of sound waves outside of the ear.

......in other words, a difference tone is not the same mechanism
--- is not produced the same way --- as the 'beats' that we use to
verify whether two instruments are in tune with each other. Benade is
quite firm about this, and he discusses this confusion in both of his
books.

Cheers,
