These are the sounds that you hear occasionally at the end of a video or whenever a TV station goes off the air. Yeah, you thought right, the sound that’s comes when you see a rainbow image on the TV screen. 

Test tones are ordinarily used for the following two things:

  1. Testing the quality of audio signal.
  2. For testing audio hardware system quality & recognizing faults.

Test Tones are generally used for external devices like sound level meter or audio spectrum analyzer. Thus, these test tones help you in testing audio equipment, headphones, loudspeakers and room acoustics. Few of them are also used during hearing therapy.
