Voice Hz Test – Measure Your Pitch in Hz

See your voice frequency in hertz (Hz) while you speak, hum or sing. This voice Hz test reads your microphone in the browser and shows your Hz live, then your median frequency, the nearest note with cents, and the lowest and highest Hz of your take. It is free, needs no sign-up and takes about 15 seconds on a phone or computer.

Voice Frequency Test

Speak, hum or sing for up to 15 seconds. You see your voice frequency in hertz (Hz) live, then your median Hz, the nearest note, and the lowest and highest Hz of the take.

Read this aloud in your normal speaking voice

Every evening the ferry leaves the harbour at six. Gulls follow it past the lighthouse while the sky turns orange over the hills. On calm nights you can hear music from the island cafe long before the boat reaches the wooden pier.

Best results: a quiet room and a steady distance from the microphone.

Finish Step 2 to see your median frequency in Hz, the nearest note, and the lowest and highest Hz of your take.

Hz here is your fundamental frequency (F0), the lowest frequency in your voice, measured on this device's microphone. Lowest and highest leave out the bottom and top 5% of readings, so one glitch does not count. Adult averages on the scale are for reading aloud, ages 18 to 60 (men 115 Hz, women 199 Hz; Leung et al., 2022). Notes use A4 = 440 Hz. This is not a medical test.

What Hz Is My Voice? How to Read Your Result

Your voice frequency is the big number on the result card: the median of every clear pitch reading in your take, in Hz. The median is the middle reading, so a cough or one high word barely moves it. The nearest note sits next to the number.

Under the number, the facts show your average (mean) Hz, your lowest and highest Hz, the spread between them in semitones, the seconds of clear voice measured, and the cents from the nearest note. Lowest and highest leave out the bottom and top 5% of readings, so one glitch does not count. Twelve semitones make one octave.

The Hz scale shows the same take as a picture. A pin marks your median, and the shaded band is your range in that take. In Speaking voice mode, dashed markers show the adult averages, and the result states the gap in Hz, for example “14 Hz above the average for adult men (115 Hz)”. The test gives no deep or high verdict.

Every result also carries a confidence level. High or Medium means the number is solid enough to compare. Low means the test heard too little clear voice or too much noise: treat the number as a rough guide, follow the tips under it and test again.

Average Voice Frequency for Men and Women

Adults reading aloud average 115 Hz for men and 199 Hz for women, in a study of 379 speakers of Australian English aged 18 to 60 (Leung et al., 2022). The test shows both averages on its Hz scale in Speaking voice mode.

Group	Average	Standard deviation	Average ± 1 standard deviation	Nearest note to the average
Adult men	115 Hz	21 Hz	94–136 Hz	A#2 (116.54 Hz)
Adult women	199 Hz	28 Hz	171–227 Hz	G3 (196.00 Hz)

The fourth column is the average plus or minus one standard deviation, calculated from the study’s figures. It describes the spread in that study. It is not a limit, a target or a health threshold. These are speaking averages, so the test does not compare a hummed or sung note with them.

Hz to Note Chart

Every musical note has a fixed frequency: with A4 tuned to 440 Hz, A3 is 220 Hz and A2 is 110 Hz, because each octave doubles the frequency. The chart lists octaves 2 to 4, where most speaking voices and many sung notes fall.

Use it to turn your Hz into a note or back. For example, 131 Hz is C3 (130.81 Hz). A reading of 81 Hz sits about 30 cents below E2 (82.41 Hz), so the test shows E2 with −30 cents.

How to Measure Your Voice Frequency Accurately

Use a quiet room, a steady microphone distance and the right mode, give the test enough clear voice, then test again and compare. One take is a snapshot of your voice, not a fixed value.

1. Quiet room. Stay silent for the first second, while the level reads Measuring room. Fans, music and other voices cut the readings the test can use.
2. Same microphone, same distance. Keep the phone or headset in one place. If the level shows Too loud, move back a little.
3. Pick the right mode. Choose Speaking voice for your everyday Hz, and Humming or singing for the Hz of a note you hold.
4. Give it enough voice. The button changes to Stop and show result after 3 seconds of clear voice. High confidence needs 8 seconds of clear speech, or 5 seconds of humming or singing. The full 15 seconds gives the median the most readings.
5. Test again and compare. From the second take, the result card lists your takes and the change, such as “5 Hz higher than your previous take”. Reloading the page clears the list, so use Copy result to keep a take.

Speaking Voice or Humming: Which Hz Do You Need?

Use Speaking voice for the Hz of your everyday voice, and Humming or singing for the Hz of a note you hold. In Speaking voice mode you read a short passage and get your median speaking frequency, the number a median Hz test reports.

In Humming or singing mode, the scale runs from 60 to 1,100 Hz with markers at A2, A3 and A4. A pitch that moves is expected there, so it does not lower the confidence. After any take, Play my median plays a 1.5-second tone at your median, so you can hear that frequency and hum it back. The test does not count whispering or vocal fry, the creaky sound at the bottom of the voice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Voice Hz Test accurate?

It estimates your fundamental frequency with a standard pitch algorithm and rates every take with a confidence level. Your microphone, the room and how you speak change the number. It has not been benchmarked against laboratory software on real voices, so no accuracy percentage is given.

Why is my Hz different every time I test?

Your voice never holds one exact frequency. Each take hears different words, energy and loudness, so the median moves a few Hz. Test two or three times in the same room at the same distance, then compare the takes listed on the result card.

What is the difference between Hz and pitch?

Hz is a measured number: vibrations per second. Pitch is how high or low a sound seems to a listener. For a voice the two move together, so a higher fundamental frequency in Hz is heard as a higher pitch. This test reports the measured Hz.

What do the cents next to the note mean?

Cents show how far your Hz is from the nearest note. One semitone is 100 cents, so the value runs from −50 to +50. A plus sign means above the note, a minus sign means below it, and a reading right on the note shows as “in tune”.

Does the Voice Hz Test work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in current phone and computer browsers that allow microphone access on a secure page. Allow the microphone when your browser asks. If the microphone is blocked or busy, the test names the problem and shows the fix. Keep the phone at a steady distance.

Is my voice recorded or stored?

No recording is made. The test reads pitch from the live microphone signal in your browser and keeps only the numbers while the page is open. No audio file is created, and closing or reloading the page clears every take and the takes list.

Does my Hz tell me my voice type or how deep my voice is?

No. Hz measures pitch only, and voice type needs your singing range, which this test does not measure. The result states how far your speaking Hz is from the adult averages. To see that gap as five depth bands, use the Deep Voice Test listed above.
