GIGGLEUS TONE TEST
Tone-Deaf Test
Can you hear whether a note goes up or down? You hear two short tones in a row and pick whether the second was higher or lower. Over 12 rounds the gap narrows from three semitones to about a fifth of a semitone, so the last rounds really test your ear. With headphones it takes about a minute.

Am I tone deaf? This free tone deaf test plays two short tones in a row and asks whether the second went up or down. Over 12 rounds the gap shrinks from 300 cents (three semitones) to just 22 cents, so you can see how fine your pitch perception really is. With headphones it takes about a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does the tone deaf test work?
A. You hear two short tones and choose whether the second was higher or lower. There are 12 rounds; the gap starts at 300 cents (three semitones) and narrows to 22 cents. You can replay each pair as often as you like.
Q. How is the score graded?
A. Not by the number of correct answers. Every round is a 50/50 choice, so pure guessing already averages about 6 out of 12 — a count-based grade would call someone who can't hear the difference “ordinary.” Instead, the test uses all 12 answers to estimate your pitch threshold, the smallest gap you can reliably hear, and grades that: 20 cents or less Golden ear, 21–40 Sharp ear, 41–100 Ordinary ear, and over 100 cents (a semitone) Worth a recheck. The correct count is shown only for comparing scores with friends.
Q. If I sing off-key, am I tone deaf?
A. Not necessarily. Singing in tune also depends on vocal control, and many people who sing off-key hear pitch differences normally. True tone deafness, congenital amusia, is estimated to affect only about 1.5–4% of people, and this test cannot diagnose it.
Q. How do I get the most accurate result?
A. Use headphones or earphones in a quiet room and set a comfortable volume with the test tone before you start. On iPhone, turn off Silent mode or you may hear nothing.
