    How to use the Tone Generator?

    1 . Select a waveform (Sine, Square, Sawtooth, or Triangle).
    2 . Adjust the frequency slider, or type a custom frequency directly in the text input.
    3 . Click the main Play button to start generating the tone.
    4 . Optionally, use the Sweep Mode or Overtones panels to generate frequency sweeps or custom chords.

    Frequently Asked Questions


    What is an online tone generator?

    An online tone generator is a web tool that plays specific frequency waves (sine, square, sawtooth, or triangle) using your browser's audio engine. It is commonly used for tuning instruments, testing speakers, testing hearing limits, or scientific experiments.

    How do I perform a frequency sweep?

    Toggle the Sweep Mode panel, enter a start and end frequency (e.g. 100 Hz to 2000 Hz), choose a sweep duration in seconds, choose linear or exponential spacing, and click 'Play Sweep'.

    What are harmonic overtones?

    Harmonic overtones are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. Our tone generator allows you to mix in up to three secondary frequencies (or ratios) with individual volume sliders to hear how they blend together.

    What frequencies can humans hear?

    Generally, humans can hear frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. However, hearing sensitivity declines with age, especially for higher frequencies.
