To determine the systolic pressure through auscultation, follow these steps:

1. Locate the point where you can hear the beats of the heart most clearly.
2. Place the stethoscope or the diaphragm of the stethoscope over this point.
3. Inflate the blood pressure cuff to a pressure higher than the expected systolic pressure.
4. Slowly release the pressure in the cuff while listening through the stethoscope.
5. Pay close attention to the sounds you hear. The systolic pressure is the point at which you first hear a clear, audible sound, often described as a "thumping" or "tapping" sound.
6. Take note of the pressure reading on the cuff at the moment you hear the first clear sound. This is the systolic pressure.

So, to answer the question, the systolic pressure is taken at the point where the beats become audible.
