4Hz Tone

Play a 4 Hz tone and adjust the sound below.

What 4Hz is good for

A 4Hz signal completes 4 cycles per second. A 4Hz signal lies below the usual audible range. It is different from a 4Hz binaural difference between two audible tones. Use it to explore oscillator settings; do not expect headphones or speakers to reproduce it as a clear 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.

How to use 4Hz in Hzvibe

What to compare with 4Hz

For a headphone comparison using audible carrier tones, use the 4Hz binaural preset instead. Silence at these settings does not establish anything about your hearing.
