It all happens inside your browser, so the sound starts the moment you press play. Nothing to download, nothing to set up. You can play a low 40 Hz tone that you feel more than hear, a middle tone like 440 Hz, or a 15,000 Hz tone near the top of human hearing. Some people call this an hz generator; others call it a frequency generator. Same thing. Why people use one Any pitch Play anything from 1 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Type a number, or step it one hertz at a time. Four sound shapes Sine is the cleanest tone. Square, sawtooth and triangle sound fuller and sharper.
