We describe an apparatus for generating rotating sound waves in free space by superimposing two orthogonal standing modes with a quarter wave phase lag. The creation of a standing wave from the superposition of two counter-rotating waves is also possible with the same apparatus. The experiment permits direct measurement of both the amplitude and phase structure of the sound waves. A demonstration of angular momentum transfer from rotating acoustic waves to matter in free field is also described.
