〰️ Tone Generator

How the Tone Generator Works

Our tone generator creates audio waveforms at specific frequencies using the Web Audio API's OscillatorNode. You can choose from sine (pure tone), square (rich harmonics), sawtooth (bright), and triangle (soft) waveforms.

Tone generators are essential tools for audio engineers testing speakers, musicians tuning instruments, sound designers creating effects, and researchers conducting hearing tests. The frequency range covers 20Hz to 20kHz (the full human hearing range).

Pro Tips

  • Use 440Hz sine wave for tuning instruments to standard A4 pitch.
  • Test your speakers by sweeping through frequencies 20Hz-20000Hz to check for dead spots.
  • Square waves contain odd harmonics - good for testing amplifier distortion.

Frequently Asked Questions
