Speaker Test

Start with comfortable system volume. A browser tone can verify channel routing but cannot calibrate loudness, hearing, distortion or frequency response.

What this tool checks

Play short browser-generated left, right or stereo tones at a conservative page-level gain for channel checks.

How to use the result

Start with comfortable system volume. A browser tone can verify channel routing but cannot calibrate loudness, hearing, distortion or frequency response.

Privacy & browser limits

Device streams and input events used by this page are handled in your browser unless the page explicitly says otherwise. Permission, label, timing and hardware-field availability depend on the browser and operating system.

Generated channel tones do not become an acoustic calibration test

Web Audio can verify that left/right/both test tones are routed by the browser/system. It cannot measure SPL, frequency response, distortion or guarantee which physical output device is active.

Use this result with confidence

Channel separation confirms routing, not room calibration

Playing a left-only or right-only tone is useful for checking whether channels are connected and labeled correctly. It does not measure speaker frequency response, room reflections, phase alignment, or absolute sound-pressure level. Use measurement microphones and calibrated test procedures when the task is acoustic calibration rather than a basic routing check.

Start at a low volume before changing frequency

A browser tone generator can produce sustained sine waves that are uncomfortable or unexpectedly loud through some headphones, amplifiers, or powered speakers. Begin with a low device volume and a moderate test level, then increase only as needed. Stop immediately if the sound is uncomfortable. The visual slider is not a calibrated dB SPL measurement.

Frequency-dependent loudness can come from several parts of the chain

A tone that seems quieter at one frequency can reflect the speaker, headphones, room, hearing sensitivity, operating-system processing, amplifier, or browser output path. Compare channels at the same settings before attributing a difference to hardware. For diagnosis, swap channels or devices to see whether the perceived problem follows the speaker or the signal path.

Use speech or music after the synthetic-tone check

Sine tones are good for basic channel and frequency spot checks, but real content contains many frequencies and transients at once. After confirming left/right routing, play familiar speech or music through the intended application. That second check can reveal distortion, intermittent connections, balance problems, or processing that a short single-frequency tone does not expose.
