One quick note, you can't stop and start tone groups like that without humans being able to hear ticks as each one starts and stops. AM/FM radio theory, modulation hoo-haa, etc. Fade each tone in and out should get rid of that. Effect > Fade-In, etc.

You have to stay in Audacity for all the multi-track tricks to work. Each time you escape Audacity by Exporting a sound file, Audacity will try to mix down a stereo show suitable for burning to a CD or playing on a standard stereo personal music player.

You may have 22KHz but you are listening to the distortion of your sound system not being able to handle it. If you could hear it, it would sound like a very quiet, delicate air-escaping hiss. We had a very tall, young engineer at a radio station that could detect the presence of 19.2KHz. It didn't ...

We do note that scientists are routinely disappointed with Audacity because it's an audio production editor not a WAV editor. Some technical shortcuts and inaccuracies are allowed in order to make your choral performance sound good. Why would you want a 22000 sine wave (I'm assuming sine)? Your dog ...
