What note am I singing?

Sing or play a note and see its name, its octave and how close you are to it, live. Hold each note and the tool writes the melody down for you.

From a hummed melody to written notes

Singers use it to check their pitch and songwriters to write down a melody before it fades. The note appears as you sing; every note you hold for a moment is added to a list you can copy into a chord sheet, a lyric or a message to your band.

In Zoundroom, paste the notes into the song’s note and record the melody right there, so the pitches and the take stay together.

How to use it

  1. 1Press Start and allow the microphone, in a quiet place.
  2. 2Sing or play one note and hold it: the note, octave and cents appear at once.
  3. 3Sing your melody slowly, holding each note for a moment; each one joins the list below.
  4. 4Copy the list and paste it next to the lyric or the chords, or clear it and try again.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell what note I am singing?

Press Start, allow the microphone and hold the note. The tool shows its name (for example A3), how many cents sharp or flat you are and the frequency in hertz.

How accurate is it?

With a clear, held note in a quiet room it is usually within a few cents. Strong vibrato, breathy tones, background noise or several instruments at once make the reading less stable.

Can it write down my melody?

It lists the notes you hold, in order, so you get the pitches of the melody. It does not write rhythm: sing slowly and add the rhythm yourself, or record a take next to the list.

What do the numbers after the notes mean?

They are octaves in scientific pitch notation: C4 is middle C and A4 is the 440 Hz A. Most voices sing roughly between C3 and C6.

Does it record my voice?

No. The sound is analysed in your browser while the tool is on; nothing is recorded, saved or sent. Press Stop to release the microphone.
