It's not the physics that are the issue, it's the perceptual mechanism.

Is not the beat frequency just a resonance of the two waves? That should
be easily measurable as a "sum and difference" volume change of the
signal.

I use beat frequencies all the time while tuning my violin. I can even
see the width of the vibration of the string changing with the beat if I
play loud enough.
