See your pitch in real-time as you sing or play. Perfect for vocal training and pitch accuracy practice.
Ear Training
Can't find the pitch? Play a reference note first, listen carefully, then try to match it.
Tempo Control
Pitch is only half the battle. Practice your scales and songs with a steady beat.
Use this page as the feedback step in a short loop: hear a reference on the Tone Generator, sing here, then lock rhythm on the Metronome. If you are preparing a cover, pair with the Song Key Finder after the Vocal Range Test so you practice in a key that fits your voice.
Tool settings: Tone Generator · sine · 30–40% volume
Play Middle C (C4) or your chosen root. Stop the tone, then sing and hold. If you are flat, add breath support; if sharp, relax the jaw and tongue.
Goal: Hold the needle in the green zone for 3 seconds on one note.
Pick a comfortable note in your range. Sing straight tone (no vibrato) for 5 seconds per attempt. Rest 10 seconds between tries.
Goal: Keep deviation within ±10 cents without wavering.
Tool settings: Metronome 72 BPM · optional Tone on first note only
Sing Do–Re–Mi–Fa–Sol up and down on “La.” Use the generator only on Do and Sol to check endpoints; inner notes are from memory.
Goal: Land each scale step in the center—not sliding up into pitch.

The notes below come from how we use and test SingMeter tools in real practice sessions.
We use this detector the way singers do—into a laptop or phone mic, in a normal room—and tune its readings against a reference tone. The point is honest feedback on your sustained pitch, not chasing a perfect zero that fights your natural vibrato.

Hold a comfortable note for a few seconds. Watch the needle move to see your pitch stability.
Once you can hold a single note, try singing a simple scale (Do-Re-Mi) and see if you can hit each step accurately.
This shows the musical note you're singing. The letter (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) represents the pitch class, and the number represents the octave.
Example: C4 is "Middle C" on a piano, the most common reference note. A4 (440 Hz) is the standard tuning pitch used by orchestras worldwide.
This is the number of sound wave vibrations per second. Higher numbers = higher pitch.
Common frequencies:
A "cent" is a unit of musical pitch. There are 100 cents between any two adjacent notes. The indicator shows how close you are to the target note.
In Tune (±10 cents)
Excellent! Your pitch is accurate enough for most musical contexts.
Flat (negative cents)
Your pitch is slightly lower than the target note. Try singing a bit higher.
Sharp (positive cents)
Your pitch is slightly higher than the target note. Try singing a bit lower.
Our pitch detector uses the Web Audio API to analyze sound waves from your microphone. It calculates the fundamental frequency of your voice in real-time and maps it to the nearest musical note.
The human voice naturally has small variations (vibrato) and imperfections. If the fluctuations are large, try singing a steady, straight tone and ensure you are in a quiet environment to reduce background noise.
A cent is a unit of measure for pitch. There are 100 cents in a semitone (the distance between two adjacent keys on a piano). Being within ±10 cents is generally considered 'in tune' for most singing contexts.
No, most built-in laptop or phone microphones work perfectly fine. However, using a headset or external microphone can improve accuracy by reducing background noise and echo.
No. All pitch analysis happens locally in your browser. Your audio data is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
This page is your real-time feedback tool—watch cents while you sing. Structured exercises, daily routines, and problem-specific fixes live in our guides so we don't repeat them here.
Start with the 10-minute pitch calibration tutorial if you want a timed first session on SingMeter.
Use the SingMeter Pitch Detector together with these step-by-step guides to fix flat notes, train your ear, and practice singing in tune without an instrument.
Understand the real reasons pitches sag and follow targeted exercises using the detector as feedback.
Build a reliable musical ear so you can hear intervals and keys clearly and match them with your voice.
Daily detector routines, practice without a piano, cents explained, and links to flat-note and ear-training guides.
SingMeter's Pitch Detector is a real-time vocal analysis tool designed to help singers train their ear and improve their pitch accuracy. By visualizing the exact frequency of your voice, you can see instantly whether you are singing in tune, sharp (too high), or flat (too low).
Unlike a simple guitar tuner, this tool is optimized for the human voice. It detects the fundamental frequency of your singing and maps it to the closest musical note, showing you the deviation in "cents."
In music, the distance between two semitones (like C and C#) is divided into 100 smaller units called cents.
Most professional singers naturally fluctuate within ±10-15 cents due to vibrato and expression. The goal isn't to be robotic, but to center your pitch so it feels stable.
Siren slides, long tones, interval jumps, and scale work are best followed step-by-step—not repeated here. Use the timed tutorial for a first session on SingMeter, or the pitch hub for problem-specific fixes (flat vs sharp, ear training, daily loop).
While this tool is highly accurate, it relies on your device's microphone. Background noise, poor microphone quality, or echo can affect results. Also, remember that this is an educational tool, not a medical device. If you feel pain or strain while singing, stop immediately and consult a professional.
