#2Make sure to try the demo at the top of the page. Our auditory system is really neat.

#4Knew about them for a long time. I am still not sure if these work for some people or not, because they don't work for me at all.

Or, since this is Hacker News, you can use ChucK, which is a realtime programming language for processing audio:
SinOsc left => dac.left;
SinOsc right => dac.right;
300 => left.freq;
310 => right.freq;
while (1) 1::second => now;Re: Binaural beats

I used rhybag, from the author of sbagen, to create a melody for a song I've yet to finish writing. It's a very cool tool.

#7This can be easily heard on a piano. Just play two adjacent low notes at the same time and volume.

#8I have been running http://healingbeats.com/forum a large forum related to Binaural Beats for awhile, some good sbagen presets there.
Here is a good place to create and listen to binaural beats on your browser using the new html5 audio apis:

Some good, more general purpose and programmer-y alternatives:

No, it's different. That's a real beating effect. This is an phenomenon that happens when the two tones are heard separately in each ear and the beating just happens in your head. It tells us that our auditory system retains some waveform data, up to about 1000 Hz.
