The R.L. Drake Company referred to the zeroing or beating indicators as "canary chirps," the goal being to slow the "chirping" until there was a steady tone indicating you were then dead-on. I still find that the most descriptive way to tell someone how to identify the pulsing when doing the Reference Calibration against WWV in a K3 (at the highest frequency you can copy them). The trick is to get the right balance in volume between WWV's main carrier tone and the K3's sidetone so you can hear the "chirps."
