FAQ

Questions About Sound Tester Tools

Are all Sound Tester tools free?

Yes. All 13 tools are free, with no sign-up, no download and no limit on how often you use them.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Every tool runs in your browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Linux, iPhone and Android.

Is my audio recorded or uploaded?

No. Microphone sound is measured on your own device and never uploaded. The Mic Test only records when you press record, and the clip stays in your browser.

Which tool should I use first?

Start with the Sound Test to confirm audio plays. Then use the Left Right Test for channel problems, the Speaker or Headphone Test for your gear, and the Mic Test for calls.

Which tools need a microphone or headphones?

The Mic Test, Decibel Meter and Spectrum Analyzer use your microphone. The Headphone Test, Hearing Test and Binaural Beats work best with headphones.

How accurate are browser audio tools?

Tones are generated exactly, so frequency tools are very precise. Microphone readings depend on your mic and are best for comparisons, not lab or medical use.
