Vocal range test & pitch meter
Choose Range test for your lowest and highest notes, octave span and a voice-type estimate. Choose Pitch to check a note live.
Sing a comfortable note and see its detected pitch.
See your pitch
Sing or hum any note. You will see exactly which note you are on, how close to center you are, and a live line of your voice.

Sing into a better mic than the one your laptop lid picked, and every score gets more honest.
This is the test itself, free in the browser and with nothing to install. The same measurement ships inside the mobile app, and the Suede Voice app page is where you download that. Come here to take the test. Go there to put it on a phone.
Singing with a guitarist? Once you know the most comfortable key for your voice, use Strumly's guitar capo calculator to keep the song in that key with easier chord shapes.
What a vocal range test actually measures
Your vocal range is the span between the lowest and highest notes you can sing with a clear, usable tone. This online range test listens as you slide down and then up, then reports both notes, the size of the span, and the voice type that overlaps it most closely.
Two singers with the same range can sound nothing alike because range does not show where each voice feels comfortable. The notes at the extremes are often not notes a singer would perform repeatedly. A range test gives you a boundary and a baseline, not a grade.
The result can move with fatigue, illness, the time of day, the room, microphone position, and whether you warmed up. Test under similar conditions when you want to compare one result with another.
Voice type, including soprano, tenor, baritone, and the other common labels, depends on comfortable range, tone, and register behavior as well as the two extremes. This test can show which conventional range band overlaps your result. It cannot diagnose or permanently classify your voice.
How to test your vocal range
The test runs in the browser with your microphone. It takes about two minutes, and nothing you sing is uploaded or recorded.
- 01
Warm up first, or note that you didn't
A short, gentle warmup makes the test easier to repeat under similar conditions. If you test without warming up, record that context and compare it only with another test taken the same way.
- 02
Choose Range test and allow the microphone
Select the Range test tab at the top of this page, then start the guided test. Grant mic access when the browser asks. Pitch detection runs on your device; audio is never sent to a server. Use a quiet room, because background noise is what makes the detector hesitate. If nothing registers while you sing, your input level is the first thing to raise — automatic gain is switched off here so the signal being measured is the one you produced.
- 03
Hold a comfortable note
Start in the middle of your voice, on a vowel you can sustain — 'ah' or 'oo'. Sing it out rather than under your breath: a note at talking volume often sits below what the microphone can measure. This gives the detector a stable reading to anchor on before you move to the extremes.
- 04
Slide down to your floor
Descend by step or on a slow slide until the tone turns to croak, rattle, or air. The last note you can hold with a clear sung pitch is your low. Do not count fry just to extend the number.
- 05
Slide up to your ceiling
Come back to the middle, then climb the same way. Let the voice move into head voice or falsetto instead of forcing a heavier sound upward. Stop before the note causes pain or strain.
- 06
Read the result and save it
You get your low note, your high note, the span in octaves, and the voice type that span suggests. Saving it gives you a first data point — the number only means something once you have several taken the same way.
Your first number is a starting line, not a verdict
Your first result reflects what you can coordinate today under the conditions of this test. Technique, microphone setup, and how honestly you stop at the edges all affect the number.
- Use singer comparisons as reference, not a target or a grade; a reported span may combine notes from different recordings and conditions
- Stop rather than push past discomfort when a note feels out of reach. The test cannot tell you why a note is difficult or prescribe a technique to reach it
- Retest after several practice sessions instead of chasing a larger number in the same sitting
- Judge useful range by the notes you can sing clearly and repeatably, not by one extreme sound
Track the range you can use, not the one you can reach
A test records notes detected in one session. Your working range is the span you can sing comfortably and repeatably; keep that distinction when choosing songs or reviewing progress.
- Log the test under fixed conditions (same time, same warmup) so the trend is signal rather than schedule
- Note where tone or effort changes, without treating the pitch trace as a diagnosis of register behavior
- Explore overlapping reported spans in the singer library, while remembering that shared notes do not establish the same anatomy, voice type, or technique
- Suede Pro charts every test over time, so the range line and your accuracy trend sit on the same page
How do I find my vocal range online?
Choose the Range test tab, start the free test, allow microphone access, hold one comfortable note, then slide down and up while the pitch detector listens. Suede Sing marks the lowest and highest clear notes it hears, shows the span on a keyboard, and gives the conventional voice-type band that overlaps it most closely.
How high can I sing?
The test reports the highest clear note it detects in this session, not a prediction of your maximum or a target to exceed. Stay within a comfortable volume and effort, and stop if you feel pain or strain. A singer's reported reference span is not a prescription for your voice.
How many octaves should I have?
There is no required octave count for a useful singing voice. A smaller span that stays clear, comfortable, and repeatable is more useful than a wider result built from strained or one-off notes. Song choice and transposition matter more than matching someone else's number.
Does vocal fry count as part of my range?
Do not count a croak or fry sound if your goal is a usable singing range. Record the lowest note you can hold with a clear, repeatable sung pitch instead.
Should falsetto count in my range?
For a range measurement, yes — falsetto and head voice are genuine parts of what you can sing, and excluding them understates the instrument. If you are asked for your range for a specific style or an audition, say which registers the figure includes.
Can I increase my vocal range?
This test cannot predict whether or how much your range will change. Track comfortable, repeatable notes under similar conditions rather than chasing a larger span. For individual technique advice, work with a qualified voice teacher; pain or lasting voice changes need clinical assessment.
Why is my range different every time I test?
Fatigue, illness, the time of day, warming up, room noise, and microphone position can all change what the test hears. One result is a snapshot. For a useful comparison, retest under similar conditions and stop at the same standard of clear, comfortable tone.
