Binaural beats send slightly different frequencies to each ear, causing the brain's auditory brainstem to perceive a third pulsating beat equal to the frequency difference.
Isochronic tones use sharp amplitude modulation turning a carrier tone on and off at regular intervals. Can be played over speakers (does not require headphones).
Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR): 100% amplitude modulated sine wave at 40 Hz used to evoke auditory gamma-band neural synchrony in EEG/MEG paradigms.
Rumbling is a browser-based, high-fidelity online tone generator and audio signal laboratory designed for auditory researchers, psychophysiologists, neuroscientists, audio engineers, sound designers, and music enthusiasts. Utilizing the Web Audio API, this tool generates continuous pure sine tones, square waves, triangle signals, sawtooth waves, calibrated noise profiles, binaural beats, and specialized EEG stimulus paradigms without requiring software installation or plugins.
In cognitive neuroscience and psychophysiology experiment protocols, precise auditory stimulation is vital. Rumbling generates:
Binaural beat synthesis generates slightly different pitch frequencies independently in the left and right stereo channels. When listened to through headphones, the brain perceives a central auditory pulse corresponding to the frequency difference:
For musicians and acoustic engineers, Rumbling supports custom reference pitch calibration (e.g., 440 Hz ISO standard, 432 Hz Verdi tuning, 435 Hz Diapason Normal, and 415 Hz Baroque tuning). It also features an instant Solfeggio frequency generator providing 174 Hz, 285 Hz, 396 Hz, 417 Hz, 528 Hz ("Transformation Tone"), 639 Hz, 741 Hz, 852 Hz, and 963 Hz pure harmonic sine tones.
Export uncompressed 16-bit PCM stereo WAV files directly from your browser. Utilizing an `OfflineAudioContext`, Rumbling renders ultra-precise frequency sweeps (logarithmic and linear chirps), calibrated white/pink/brown noise, custom binaural beats, and ADSR envelope shaped tones suitable for research stimuli, sound design, equipment testing, and acoustic calibration.
