About SoundsChecker
We build fast, private and genuinely useful audio tests that work in any modern browser.
Why we built SoundsChecker
Most online sound tests are cluttered, slow or vague about what they measure. We wanted one place where anyone can check speakers, headphones and microphones in seconds and get honest, practical next steps.
How we test
Every tool generates its signals with the Web Audio API at your device's native sample rate, so nothing is pre-recorded or compressed. Before each release we check every tool in a current desktop browser for errors and correct behaviour, and we are expanding our testing to more browsers, operating systems and audio devices. Where a browser or device can't do something, such as discrete surround on a stereo-only output, the page says so plainly. If a tool misbehaves on your setup, please tell us.
Our principles
- Private: audio never leaves your device.
- Fast: lightweight static pages, no heavy frameworks.
- Honest: we explain limits and never present estimates as lab measurements.
- Accessible: keyboard-operable controls, good contrast, dark mode.
