The quickest way to find out is to try it yourself. It only takes a minute.
Test my vocal rangeYour vocal range is the span from the lowest to the highest note you can sing. It's written with note names such as E2–G4, where the number is the octave and C4 is middle C.
Adult men usually speak around 85–155 Hz and adult women around 165–255 Hz. Children's voices sit higher, roughly 250–400 Hz.
With regular, relaxed practice most singers gain a few notes at each end over several months, mostly by learning to use head voice and breath support well. Pushing or straining doesn't help and can hurt your voice.
