Questions

What can I use it for?

Testing speakers and headphones, checking your hearing range, tuning, science class demos and finding rattles in a car or room.

Which wave should I pick?

Sine is the purest tone. Square and sawtooth sound buzzier because they contain many overtones.

Why can’t I hear very high tones?

Hearing range drops with age, and small speakers struggle above 18 kHz.
