Pattern of sounds, the beat (6)

I believe the answer is:

rhythm

(Other definitions for rhythm that I've seen before include "Regular succesion of sounds" , "Poetic pattern" , "Cycle -- cadence" , "Pattern of movement or sound" , "Strong regular repeated pattern of sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
