Online Frequency Sweep Generator

Create a linear or logarithmic sweep between any two audible frequencies. Test speakers, locate resonances, visualize the sweep, and export it as WAV.

Start low. Pure tones and noise can be uncomfortable or damage hearing and equipment at high volume.

Use the controls above as a test source, then open the main analyzer when you want to inspect a recording or microphone input in more detail.

01

Set the sweep range

Choose start and end frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Reverse the values to create a descending sweep.

02

Choose linear or logarithmic

Linear sweeps cover equal numbers of hertz per second. Logarithmic sweeps spend more time in lower octaves and are often easier for audio testing.

03

Watch for resonances

A sudden change in perceived loudness may come from the speaker, headphones, room, or your hearing—not necessarily the generated signal.

Common questions

Before you press play.

What sweep should I use for speakers?

A low-volume logarithmic sweep from 20 Hz to 20 kHz is a useful starting point, but consumer playback devices may not reproduce the full range.

Can the sweep run downward?

Yes. Set the start frequency higher than the end frequency.

What does Repeat do?

It starts the same sweep again after it reaches the end until you press Stop.
