Explanation:

If a second tuning fork is used, then I would imagine it needs to be of the same pitch class as the primary tuner. So a second tuning fork might be 72Hz, 144Hz, 576Hz, & so forth. In my 50+ years of being a musician, I’ve never heard of two forks used simultaneously in the way you’re suggesting with your question.

In 1953, the ISO established the frequency of the A note above middle C as 440Hz; on a guitar in standard tuning, this equates to the fifth fret of the treble-E string. Not too long after that, tuning forks were designed to resonate at that frequency. With that said, you must have a special need for engineering a tuning fork to a frequency other than 440Hz, or a value close to that as required by non-440Hz orchestras.

“… eight beats per second …” sounds like a red herring to me, but perhaps there is more to a tuning fork than what I’m familiar with. That is, every fork I’ve heard (e.g., sitting in on a piano tuner when he performs annual maintenance on my piano) seemed to resonate at a steady tone.

Vishesh, I do not believe I am greater or lesser than anyone else, but I am a member of---& sometimes answer questions on---sites or forums that share my interests, such as Quora. I don’t mean to put down your question, but it seems you’re more into puzzles & brain teasers, or possibly deceptive trolling, than genuinely looking for answers. This may explain why the few replies you’ve received are rude.
