Spectrum & pitch analyzer

See which frequencies your audio actually contains. Analyze a file for peaks and a waterfall view, or watch a live microphone spectrum. Everything stays on this device.

Analysis settings

Live input

The microphone is only monitored in this tab; nothing is recorded or uploaded.

Your file stays on this device. Analysis runs in a local worker; cancel any time and the worker stops immediately.

Good to know

Spectrum & pitch analyzer

Look beyond the waveform to see which frequencies are present in your audio. Load a recording for a spectrum and time-based waterfall, or monitor microphone input to compare sounds as they happen. Peak readings help you locate a persistent hum or inspect the harmonics of a test tone. The FFT size changes the balance between separating nearby frequencies and following quick changes; a larger setting is not automatically better. Freeze a spectrum to compare a later reading, and save a PNG when you need a visual reference. Analysis runs on your device. The display supports investigation and listening decisions, but it does not remove noise, identify every instrument, or establish a medical hearing result.

What each setting does

File or microphone
Analyze a local recording or enable live microphone input. Stop microphone monitoring when the comparison is finished.
FFT size
Choose 512–8192 samples. Larger windows separate nearby frequencies better; smaller windows follow rapid changes more closely.
Freeze and image export
Keep a spectrum frame for comparison, inspect peak readings, and download the displayed visualization as PNG.
  1. Load a file and run analysis, or allow microphone access for live monitoring.

  2. Choose an FFT size suited to sustained tones or fast changes, then inspect peaks and the waterfall.

  3. Freeze a useful frame, compare another reading, and save a PNG if needed.

A few useful answers

A harmonic can be stronger than the fundamental. Noise and overlapping instruments can also dominate a frequency peak.
