TrashFreq0.3 ALPHA
Your ears, with a second opinion.
Raises signal and noise together; use hardware gain first where available. Cannot repair device clipping. Changing gain clears SPL calibration. Keep post-gain peaks below 0 dBFS to avoid clipping recordings. Live input only; visual demo bypasses gain.
Real-time analyzer
FFT magnitude in dB relative to digital full scale; windowed bin levels are not broadband meter readings.

Reference calibration
OPTIONALDigital levels above are post-gain dBFS; software boost raises them. A reference can provide an estimated acoustic level.
UNCALIBRATEDNo SPL measurement. Requires a known acoustic reference, suitable mic and unchanged input gain.Ring-Out Mode
Enable with a live input. Persistent narrow peaks appear here.
Candidate history 0
No candidates yet. We’re all ears.
Candidates are suggestions, not confirmed feedback. Music and test tones can trigger detection. Confirm by ear before changing EQ. No automatic notching.
Tone generator
Uses the browser’s current output device. Start with hardware volume low. Esc mutes; switching tabs mutes. No input monitoring.
Field recorder / TrashTracks lite
Your takes will appear here. Record, listen back, download.
Input only; generator is excluded electrically. Playback can be picked up acoustically. Download takes before leaving: recordings stay in this tab’s memory. 15 minute limit per take.
Good data starts at the input.
Use HTTPS or localhost. Choose an interface and measurement mic when accuracy matters. Browser processing is requested off, but devices may apply their own DSP. Channel access, sample rate and recording formats depend on the browser and hardware.
Keep the input gain fixed after calibration. This alpha is a mixing aid, not a certified sound level meter or hearing safety instrument. Setup & field guide ↗
