Hi Pratap - Here is a web page that has much information on sound. Among
other things, It illustrates how the combining two or more sound waves of
differing frequency produce an asymmetric wave form. It is a simple matter
of the pressure of one wave canceling or reducing the pressure an opposite
wave and thereby creating asymmetry.

A bird for example, can sing two separate notes that can be of a different
frequency, which would result in an asymmetric wave form.
