Read a short passage out loud for 10 to 20 seconds and see your speaking voice frequency in hertz, the nearest musical note and your typical range, charted against typical men's, women's and children's voices. Free, no sign-up, in your browser.
How it works
You only need a quiet room and 10 to 20 seconds of normal speech. Keep the microphone about a forearm's length away.
Step 1
Pick one of three short passages and allow microphone access when your browser asks. Reading a set text keeps your results comparable from one test to the next, which matters if you plan to track your voice over time.
Step 2
Talk the way you would on a phone call with a friend. While you read, you see your live pitch in Hz, the nearest note and a moving pitch line. Ten seconds of voice is enough for a solid result; twenty is the maximum.
Step 3
Your result shows your median frequency in Hz and the nearest note, plus a chart of typical male, female and children's ranges with your own typical range drawn underneath. Copy the numbers, save the result card or test again.
Quick reference
Your result is a number in hertz. This chart turns common speaking pitches into musical notes and shows where each one usually sits.
| Frequency | Nearest note | Where it usually sits |
|---|---|---|
| 82 Hz | E2 | Very deep; bottom of most male speech |
| 98 Hz | G2 | Deep adult male voice |
| 110 Hz | A2 | Middle of typical male voices |
| 131 Hz | C3 | Upper-middle male voice |
| 165 Hz | E3 | Where male and female ranges meet |
| 196 Hz | G3 | Middle of typical female voices |
| 220 Hz | A3 | Typical to higher female voice |
| 262 Hz | C4 (middle C) | Higher female voice; children's range begins |
Typical adult speaking ranges: men about 85–155 Hz (most often 100–120 Hz), women about 165–255 Hz (most often 190–220 Hz), children about 250–400 Hz. The chart in the test draws the male band up to 180 Hz, as many textbooks do, so you can see where it overlaps the female band. Notes use scientific pitch notation (A4 = 440 Hz).
Highlights
The test gives you more than one number. Here is what each part of the result is for.
Your headline number is the median of hundreds of pitch readings taken while you talk, so a single high laugh or low mumble can't drag it around. The nearest note, such as A2 or G3, makes it easy to find on a piano or compare with a vocal range chart.
A band chart shows typical adult male, adult female and children's ranges side by side, with your own typical range as a bar and a line at your median. You see at a glance whether you sit low, high or in the overlap where the male and female bands meet.
Below the chart you get your average, typical range (the middle 80% of readings), lowest and highest steady pitch, variation in semitones and how many seconds of voice were measured. It is the detail a voice hertz tester should show, with no download and no sign-up.
All analysis runs in your browser. Your voice is processed on your own device, nothing is recorded or uploaded, and the page forgets your audio as soon as you leave. There is no account and nothing to install.
Your voice frequency is the fundamental frequency of your speech, usually written F0. It is how many times per second your vocal folds open and close. At 110 Hz they vibrate 110 times a second, which is a typical male speaking voice; at 210 Hz, a typical female one. Doubling the frequency raises the pitch by exactly one octave, which is why the gap between most men and most women is close to an octave.
Your voice also contains harmonics, quieter tones at whole-number multiples of the fundamental, and formants, the frequency bands your throat and mouth boost. Formants give a voice its color and make vowels sound different. That is why two people at the same Hz can sound nothing alike, and why this test reports the fundamental only: it is the part of your voice that maps cleanly to pitch.
Expect a few hertz of difference between runs, and sometimes more. Your speaking pitch rises when you are loud, excited, nervous or reading in a performance voice, and drops when you are tired or relaxed. Many people speak a little lower in the morning, and a cold, allergies or a long day of talking can lower or roughen your voice for a while.
To compare results fairly, keep everything else the same: the same passage, the same microphone and distance, a quiet room and a similar time of day. Then look at the trend across several tests rather than any single number. For a plain chart of typical values by age and sex, see average voice frequency; if you mostly care how low you sound, the deep voice test turns the same measurement into a depth score.
Singing is a different job. A voice frequency test for speech looks for your everyday pitch, while singing covers a much wider span with long, held notes. To see the note you are singing in real time, use the voice tuner.

Use cases
A voice frequency test is handy any time you want a number instead of a guess.
Track your median while you work on pitch, for example in gender-affirming voice training, and see whether practice carries over into everyday speech.
Check your practice between sessions with a speech-language pathologist. It is a handy practice aid, not a clinical measurement.
Know your fundamental before you set EQ. A high-pass filter set well below your median removes rumble without thinning your voice.
See the physics of sound in your own voice: hertz, octaves and notes, with real numbers you can use in a science project.
