20Hz Tone

Play a 20 Hz tone and adjust the sound below.

What 20Hz is good for

A 20Hz signal completes 20 cycles per second. 20Hz sits near the commonly cited lower edge of human hearing. It is a practical starting point when you want to test bass response, low-end presence, or the difference between pulse and pitch.

Volume and playback limits

Start with your device volume low and stop if playback feels uncomfortable. Do not increase volume to force an inaudible tone to be heard. Browser playback cannot measure hearing thresholds or calibrate sound levels.

What to compare with 20Hz

20Hz becomes clearer when you compare it against 10Hz, 40Hz, and 50Hz. Keep the same playback level when comparing tones.

Questions

Is 20Hz always heard as a pitch?

Audibility depends on your hearing, speakers or headphones, and playback level. A browser tone is not a calibrated hearing test.

Which wave should I start with for a 20Hz tone?

Start with a sine wave if you want the cleanest 20Hz reference. Switch to square or saw only when you want more harmonic texture.

Can I bookmark this 20Hz tone page as a preset?

Yes. This page links straight into Hzvibe with 20Hz preloaded, so you can return to the same tone or share the URL with someone else.
