Physics Toolbox Tone Generator

This tone generator app produces a continuous tone. The user can modify both the frequency (~pitch) (0
- 20,000 Hz) and the amplitude (~volume) of the sound wave. The wave shape can also be modified as sin, square, triangle, and saw-tooth.
This app can be used in science education in conjunction with a sound meter to determine the inverse-square law for sound intensity, or with another tone generator to produce audible beats (by combining two tones of slight different frequencies).

If you have any questions, comments, or would like to see modifications/updates, please email me at [email protected]

Great app, it really helped me! Tho, it's kinda hard to tell wether you reach a frequency you/the microphone can't hear, or the phone speakers just don't work at that frequency... Maybe add a feature that detects your phone model and tells you when the speakers can't make sound at a frequency, or just add a message that tells the user that at a certain frequency, most phone speakers won't work? Thanks :)

Does exactly what it says on the tin with absolutely no rubbish.

Best way to demonstrate my tinnitus.

Delivers what it promises.

Can't change settings to customize. One cool setting could be the ability to pick musical tones chromatically from a larger range. The frequency range cuts off before I would have expected. There's a click sound when starting and ending a tone. I like how there's multiple ways to change the freq, but some if the ways (entering the number manually) is really annoying the way it's made. A cool feature could be to hold down on the - or + sign and have the frequency change at a certain rate, like 10 per second or something. Other than that it's a cool app.

The app has great potential but Falls a little short in my book

In the future it will be the greatest idom out there

Doesn't work on nougat

More precise frequency bar would be better.

A. G. u. May 30, 2018     

Like it, but wish I could change phase. Maybe go lower than C4 as well

Not user friendly

Nice, but would be better with a much higher cap. Like around 44000. I was going to use it in lab.

A. G. u. May 11, 2017     

Gave it five stars even tho I do wish it had the ability to isolate left and right headphone speakers, perhaps with even isolated frequencies on each side...Maybe a future release?

No evidence of information theft

Easy to make the sound wave as you want

left right volume for binaural beats individual frequency selection and stereo earphone option is missing Please fix the problem in next update we want background play option

Don't know much about messing around with sound frequency waves or how they alter states of consciousness, but a simple tool like this sure makes for some great experimenting.. Now all I have to do is some actual research.. Perhaps even some brain storming -like how to incorporate mathematical principles pertaining to pi.

Could you make the app more friendly for people doing experments with human brain waves. I love that you can set the hz by typing it in. Many things give off more than one frequency at a time. It'd be nice to use three pitches at once. Also decimals of hz be great. I'd love to use all three of the frequencys known in the earth's megnetic phsire. It's a must for me that this app can run in the background. As soon as the screen shuts off the sounds shut off. This is better than other apps I've used. Thx! I'm now adding that if you could program in a way to amplify a wave every time a wave returns and be silent to not counter itself tell the wave returns I'd love you! :) I'd give you a big hug!

Sound completely stops when the display sleeps or if you open another app.

art. s. May 17, 2016     

On, off, frequency, volume, and waveform.

Dan. K. Jun 12, 2015     

I really like this as I'm very interested in brainwaves and altering them. If I could play this whilst my phone's screen is closed it would be great. Thank you.

I love this app it will fix your subwoofer

Tho. O. Jan 11, 2015     

Simplest ever 90 + grandparents use it frequently, neighborhood cats and dogs just love it....

And. L. Jan 3, 2015     

I plan to do some playing around with this in the Underwater Acoustics class I teach. Any thpughts about giving it a more robust volume control where it has a decibels readout?

Needs kHz frequency generator with frequency from 0.1to tenths

eon. w. Mar 11, 2017     

Pretty much you can read the title and get my opinion. No extra permissions needed, it runs, it generates a tone at the desired frequency which is all i wanted. No complaints, does its job with no ads or cost with my S5. Stopped using in favor of other software with same functions and a lot more. Still a great app though

Works perfectly, easy to use interface. Can be used as a hearing test, or to just freak dogs out. This could also conceivably be used as a function generator for analyzing electronics by using the audio jack to connect it to a circuit. If you like this app then try out the Physics Toolbox Suite (by the same developer) to take advantage of all of the sensors on your device! It includes this app and many more all in one package that is still free, still has no ads, and still uses minimal permissions (so it's non-invasive).

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Simple, lightweight, no permissions, ad free, great for testing audio equipment.

Been on the lookout for something like this...no...exactly like this. Thank you.
