What note am I singing?
Sing or hum into your microphone and this shows the note you're on, its octave, and how many cents sharp or flat you are, as you sing.

How to read the note finder
- The letter is the note. C, D, E, F, G, A and B, with sharps in between. A♯ and B♭ are the same key on a piano, so this shows sharps only.
- The small number is the octave. C4 is middle C, and the octave number goes up by one at every C. Men's voices usually sit about an octave below women's.
- Cents tell you how close you are. There are 100 cents between one note and the next. The needle sits in the middle when you're right on the note, moves right when you're sharp (a little high) and left when you're flat (a little low).
- Hold it to keep it. Hold a note steady for about a second and it's added to "Notes you held", so you can sing a few in a row and look back.
- Check it against a real note. Tap "Hear" to play the last note you held, or open the pitch pipe and sing back what it plays.
For a steady reading: a quiet room, the phone or laptop about an arm's length away, and an open vowel like "ah". Breathy or very quiet notes are harder to read.
Questions about finding your note
How do I find out what note I'm singing?
Tap Start listening on this page, allow the microphone, and sing or hum one steady note. The note name and octave appear at once, with a needle showing whether you're a little sharp or flat. Hold the note for about a second and it's saved to the list of notes you held.
What does sharp or flat by so many cents mean?
A cent is one hundredth of the step between two neighboring notes. Sharp means your note is slightly higher than the note shown, flat means slightly lower. At 0 cents you're right on the note; at 50 cents you're halfway to the next one.
Why does the note jump around or show the wrong octave?
Breathy, very quiet or wobbly notes are harder to read, and a strong overtone can briefly show up as the note an octave above. Move closer, sing an open vowel like "ah" a little louder, and hold the note steady. Background music or a TV will also pull the reading.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
No. The sound from your microphone is analyzed in your browser while the page is open and is never saved or sent anywhere. Tap Stop, or leave the page, and the microphone turns off.
