Can I sing in tune?
Five notes are played, one at a time. Sing each one back. You see how close you landed on each, and hear your notes next to the targets.
Mika hears each note twice, once from the phone and once from you. He only counts the gap.Use headphones or turn the sound up. The microphone opens when you tap, listens after each note and closes after the fifth. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
What this measures, and what it doesn't
It plays a note, listens to you sing it back, and measures how far your note is from the target, in cents. A hundred cents is one semitone. Within about twenty-five cents counts as in tune here: most listeners won't hear the difference, and trained singers drift that much too.
Sing in whatever octave is comfortable. The notes sit in the middle of most voices, and an octave lower or higher counts as the same note.
Honest about the numbers
A phone microphone in a room reads a held note to a few cents, which is closer than any listener hears. A late start or a word instead of a vowel can still throw one note off; most people land closer on the second go.
Read the pairs, not only the count. Notes that all miss on the same side, all a little flat, are a habit, usually tired breath or a timid start, and they close fast. Notes scattered both ways mean the voice is still looking for the note the ear heard; that is practice. If most notes miss by a whole tone or more, your voice and your ear haven't met yet, which is not the same as a bad ear: the tone-deaf test checks the ear alone.
Then make something of it
Your five notes, as you sang them, go into Brumm as a melody inside a club track with a beat and a bass. No account, no upload: the notes travel inside the link itself. Sing a whole line there, and it becomes an instrument.
Your voice stays on your phone: the tool reads it in the browser and keeps nothing. How the site counts visits.
Audio: your microphone, on only after you tap. The sound is analysed in this tab and never sent. Nothing about the audio reaches the visit count.
How this test works
- Rounds
- Five notes, each played once and sung back, from the middle of most voices; any octave counts.
- Chance
- A voice singing anything lands within 25 cents of the note asked for about one time in 24, so a single hit is luck and five of five is not.
- What it doesn't mean
- It reads pitch only: not your tone, your range or whether a song suits you, and one go is a sketch, not a verdict about your ear.
