What 40Hz is good for
A 40Hz signal completes 40 cycles per second. 40Hz feels like a defined low bass reference instead of a slow pulse. It is useful for bass-response checks, speaker comparisons, and faster rhythmic low-end listening.

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.

Questions
Is 40Hz 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 40Hz tone?
Start with a sine wave if you want the cleanest 40Hz reference. Switch to square or saw only when you want more harmonic texture.
Can I bookmark this 40Hz tone page as a preset?
Yes. This page links straight into Hzvibe with 40Hz preloaded, so you can return to the same tone or share the URL with someone else.
