We observed the thermal phonon resonance of nitrogen gas with optical-beating Brillouin scattering and measured the sound velocity and the absorption coefficient in the MHz region. Optical-beating spectroscopy possesses a frequency resolution of $1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{kHz}$, which enabled us to resolve the fine structure of the thermal phonon resonance spectra. Resonance peaks of phonons were observed at every $185\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{kHz}$ in the resonance cavity composed of two flat glass plates. The measurement accuracy of the sound velocity and the absorption coefficient was remarkably improved to ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ and ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, respectively.
