The online tone generator is a free feature of the SoundCMD audio software. It creates sound with specific shape, frequency, strength and phase.
How to use the Tone Generator
The steps blow describe how create sound with specific frequency via the Tone generation feature.
- Start the Sound CMD app
Launch the Sound CMD audio app. You can access it from any web page on our site just by clicking on the Software item in the main menu bar.

- Select the appropriate signal strength
Enter the signal strength in the “Amplitude” text field. Where zero means silence and one is maximum.
- Enter the sound frequency value
Enter the value of the frequency to be used to generate the signal. The maximum value cannot be more than half the sampling rate (usually half of 48 KHz).
Sample sin wave with frequency 250Hz and amplitude 1 - Enter the phase shift of the signal
The phase shift of the signal is in degrees in range 0 to 360
Sample spectrogram of pure sin wave with frequency 250Hz - Decrease the volume settings
Decrease your audio volume settings before playback.
- Create Stereo track
Use Track > “Merge Stereo track” to combine two single channel (Mono) sounds into a single Stereo track.
