two sound waves are slightly different frequencies propagating in the same direction overlap each other and produce waxing and wanning of sound at regular intervals of time.

When two waves of slightly different frequencies propagating in same direction results in the formation of waxing and waning sounds due to interference of waves.& this phenomenon is called beats

dear kumar  Beats are often observed between two vibrations with similar frequencies. The beat frequency equals the difference between frequencies of the beating signals.
