Sound Check
Stay quiet for three seconds, then speak for five. We check your level, noise, echo and mic distance, and tell you how to fix anything that is off before you record.
Your audio never leaves your device
First, let us hear your microphone
Your browser will ask for permission. Sit where you normally record, with the mic you plan to use. The check runs entirely in this tab; nothing is recorded or uploaded.
Questions
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
No. The check runs entirely in this browser tab. The audio is analysed in memory and thrown away; nothing is sent to our servers.
What does it check?
Your speaking level, clipping, the background noise and electrical hum in the room, how much the room echoes, how close you are to the microphone, and whether the browser is applying its own noise suppression or automatic volume.
Why does it ask me to stay quiet first?
Those few seconds of silence are how it measures the room on its own, so it can tell the background apart from your voice.
Do I need an account?
No. Sound Check is free and needs no sign-up.
My recording is already done. Can it still be fixed?
Usually, yes. Enhance speech removes background noise, hum and room echo from a finished recording.
