The first heart sound is due to the closing of the atrioventrical valves (i.e. the mitral and tricuspid valves). It is due to the leaflets of the valves snapping together under pressure, just before the ventricles contract.
This is generally louder than the closing of the pulmonary and aortic valves, which cause the dup sound.

The 'lub- dub' is the sound of your heart valves opening and closing. (S1 or 'lub' ) is caused by closing of the mitral and tricuspid valve as the ventricles begin to contract and pump blood into the aorta +pulmonary artery. The second sound (S2 or 'dub') is caused when the ventricles begin to relax and allow the aortic and the pulmonary valves to close.

Normal heart sounds are caused by the closing of valves within the heart after blood has flown through them. The usual lub-dub is caused by the closing of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) and semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) respectively.

LUB is first. It is the sound of the Atrioventricular valves closing.
Tricuspic (Rt ventricle) and Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve (Lt ventricle)
The second sound "DUB" is the sound of the SEMILUNAR valves closing.
Pulmonary valve and the aortic valve.
They prevent the backflow of blood into the heart during the contraction of the heart muscle.

The lub sound comes from the atria-ventricular valves closing in the heart.

the beating sound is caused by the valves to the heart opening and closing. if memory serves me correctly the first beat is a valve opening, while the heart beats your blood through your system. check wikipedia.org and look up heart just to be sure.
