Audio Analyzer

You no longer need expensive lab equipment to measure the frequency of a sound wave. With our Audio Analyzer Interactive, you can turn your laptop, computer, tablet or phone into a microphone that is capable of detecting and analyzing the frequency of a sound wave. Simply permit Audio Analyzer access to the microphone of your device and it will analyze the sound, detect the frequencies, and display the results as an FFT plot or an oscilloscope representation.

Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.
