Abstract: A method for generating sound within a predetermined environment, the method comprising: emitting a first audio signal from a first location; and concurrently emitting a second audio signal from a second location, wherein: the first location and second location are distinct within the environment; the first audio signal and second audio signal have the same frequency; and the first audio signal and second audio signal have a phase difference that varies as a function of time to limit the time-averaged interference fluctuation across the environment.
