FOR THE NOISE THAT WASN’T THERE YESTERDAY
Make sense of
that noise.
A sound is a clue, not a diagnosis.
Let’s figure out what to check next.
Give us some context
Stop using the machine if safe. Don’t run it again just to record a sound. Arrange qualified help; for smoke or immediate danger, move away and contact emergency services.
Add a sound
Aim for 5–15 seconds, from a safe distance. Keep the microphone clear of moving parts.
Add a recording or try an example.
Your recording stays on this device.
Audio is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
No recording? Get a feel for it.
These synthesized examples run through the same analysis as your recording. They illustrate patterns, not verified faults.
Useful questions. No invented certainty.
We measure pitch, roughness, and changes over time. You get possible explanations, what would help distinguish them, and a short note you can take to a technician.
YOUR SOUND, EXAMINED
What could explain it
Possibilities, not probabilitiesWhat this analysis can—and can’t—tell you
Rules compare acoustic features with broad sound patterns. This is not a trained fault-identification model, and no recording can confirm that a machine is safe to use.
Manufacturer guidance behind the checks
General guidance. Your model’s manual takes priority; these sources do not validate Soundcheck’s analysis.
Take the clues with you.
A plain-text summary for your records or a technician.
WHAT WE BUILT
A second set of ears.
Not a remote mechanic.
Soundcheck reads the actual audio waveform in your browser. It measures repeated impacts, concentrated tones, broadband texture, and recording quality. Your machine type and symptoms shape the possible explanations. These use a small, hand-written rule set; this is not a trained fault-recognition model.
There is no model-specific fault database, no part recognition, no repair estimate, and no safety certification. Quiet recordings and distorted clips may produce no useful result. The example clips are synthesized, not recordings of damaged machines.
