Audio Test & Tone Generator

Generate tones and noise for quick signal, routing, and listening checks through the current browser output path.

Browser Audio Utility Guide

This tool is most useful as a fast browser utility: generate tones or noise, check whether a signal is present, audition channel routing, and watch how the browser output behaves in the built-in visualizers. Use it for quick checks and rough listening, not for precision measurement.

1. Browser Output Visualizers

The oscilloscope and spectrum view reflect the signal generated inside this browser audio graph. They are useful for understanding what the page is producing, but they are not measurement-grade analyzers for your full signal chain.

2. Gain Presets and Listening Checks

The -18dB, -20dB, and SAFE buttons are convenience presets for browser output level only. They are helpful for repeatable listening checks, but they do not replace calibrated line-up tones through a known hardware path.

Common Troubleshooting Checklist:

  • Stereo testing: Use Left and Right isolation for a quick routing sanity check.
  • Polarity check: Use Invert Right and listen for obvious mono cancellation or odd stereo behavior.
  • Sweep listening: Run a sweep and listen for obvious rattles, resonances, or dead spots. This is a listening aid, not a frequency-response measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pink noise used for?

Pink noise is commonly used for listening tests because it spreads energy by octave. In this browser tool it works as an approximate noise reference for quick checks, not a calibrated room-EQ source.

How do I use the polarity control?

Play a mono signal and switch to Invert Right to listen for obvious cancellation or stereo changes. It can help surface polarity problems, but it is not a definitive verification of speaker wiring or whole-system stereo behavior.
