Sing your lowest comfortable note, then your highest. This guided vocal range test uses the same real-time pitch-detection engine as our live tuner to measure both, then works out your octave span, frequency range and an estimated voice type — soprano, alto, tenor, bass and everything in between.
Find a quiet room, warm up for a minute, then sing when prompted.
Microphone: not connected yet
Press start, allow microphone access, then hum or sing scales for a few seconds to warm up before your first note.
Slide down from a comfortable pitch until you reach the lowest note you can hold steadily — no straining.

Processing happens entirely inside this page. No audio is uploaded, recorded, or shared.
One pass, two notes, instant results.
While the dial is live, it tracks whatever note you're currently singing. Lock in this note (or press Space) freezes the current reading as your answer for that step. You'll see a confirmation with the exact note and frequency before continuing, and you can always choose Sing it again if you weren't holding it steadily.
The engine is the same autocorrelation-based tracker used on the live tuner, so results here are exactly as accurate as the main tuner — this page just guides you through capturing two specific notes instead of watching one continuously.
Your estimated voice type is whichever classical range your result overlaps the most.
| Voice type | Typical range | Frequency | Usually |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soprano | C4 – C6 | 262 – 1047 Hz | Highest female voice; often the melody line |
| Mezzo-soprano | A3 – A5 | 220 – 880 Hz | Middle female voice; common in musical theatre |
| Alto / Contralto | F3 – F5 | 175 – 698 Hz | Lowest female voice; warm lower register |
| Countertenor | G3 – E5 | 196 – 659 Hz | Highest male voice; rare, mostly classical |
| Tenor | C3 – C5 | 131 – 523 Hz | High male voice; often the melody line |
| Baritone | G2 – G4 | 98 – 392 Hz | Most common male voice type |
| Bass | E2 – E4 | 82 – 330 Hz | Lowest male voice; harmonic foundation |
These categories are guidelines from classical music, not strict boxes. Plenty of real voices sit between two types or stretch across three — that's normal, not a wrong answer. Popular music genres (rock, pop, R&B, country) don't use these labels at all, so treat your result as a useful reference point, not a ceiling on what you can sing.
A few minutes of preparation makes a real difference.
These are the usual reasons a result looks smaller or stranger than expected.
A vocal range test measures the lowest and highest notes you can sing comfortably, then reports the span in octaves, the frequency range in hertz, and an estimated voice type such as soprano, alto, tenor or bass.
With a clean, warmed-up voice in a quiet room, note detection is typically accurate to within 1–3 cents. Your actual usable range can still shift day to day with hydration, warm-up and fatigue, so treat results as a snapshot rather than a permanent number.
Your captured range is compared against the standard classical ranges (soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, countertenor, tenor, baritone, bass) and matched to whichever type overlaps your range the most. It's an estimate and a starting point, not a strict label.
Yes. Spend two to three minutes humming or singing scales first. A cold voice reads narrower than your true range on both ends.
Yes, as many times as you like. Press Retest to start over. Testing weekly is a good way to see your range change as you practise.
No. Audio is analysed in your browser using the Web Audio API and discarded immediately. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent to a server.
Vocal range naturally varies with hydration, warm-up, time of day and fatigue. A few semitones of difference between attempts is completely normal.
Yes, in modern mobile browsers over HTTPS. Tap Start Test and allow microphone access when prompted — mobile browsers require a tap before they unlock audio input.
