How to play

  1. Press Hear the note to play a note. Turn your sound on first.
  2. Slide the control from low to high and press Hear yours to check your note against the first one. You can listen as often as you like.
  3. When the two sound the same, press Lock in. You score 3 points within 10 cents, 2 within 25 cents and 1 within 60 cents.
  4. A round is ten notes, so the top score is 30. Your best score is saved on this device.

Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.

Tips and strategy

  • When the two notes are close you will hear a wobble between them. The slower the wobble, the closer you are.
  • Sing or hum the first note, then slide until your note feels the same.
  • Go in small steps near the end. A tiny slide changes the pitch only a few cents.
  • The notes come from the C major scale between A3 and E5, so they are real notes you would find on a piano.

FAQ

What is a cent?
A hundredth of a semitone, the gap between two neighbouring piano keys. Most people can tell notes apart at about 10 to 20 cents.
Do I need headphones?
No, but good speakers or headphones help. Phone speakers are weak at low notes.
Does the game record my voice?
No. It only plays sounds. It never uses the microphone.
