About the Subwoofer Test

The Subwoofer Test a slow sweep from 10 Hz to 120 Hz for checking how deep a subwoofer really goes and where it starts to distort. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.

What people use it for

  • Checking where a subwoofer rolls off.
  • Setting a crossover point by ear.
  • Finding rattles in a room or a car.
Start with the volume low and raise it slowly. Sustained pure tones are far more damaging to hearing than music at the same apparent loudness, and asking a small speaker to reproduce very low or very high frequencies at volume can damage the driver.

Frequently asked questions

Below 20 Hz I feel it but cannot hear it. Is that right?
Yes. Below roughly 20 Hz sound becomes something you feel rather than hear. If you feel pressure but hear no tone, your subwoofer is doing its job.
How loud should I run this?
Moderately. Sustained low tones put far more strain on a driver than music does, and a sweep held at high volume is a common way to damage a sub.
Are there any usage caps on the Subwoofer Test?
No charge and no sign-up. There is no free tier to run out of because there is no paid tier — inputtesthub.com is funded by advertising rather than by metering the tool.
Can you see what I put into this tool?
No. The Subwoofer Test runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Because the work happens locally, the tool also keeps working if your connection drops, and closing the tab is all it takes to discard everything.
What problem does the Subwoofer Test solve?
In practice it gets used for three things: checking where a subwoofer rolls off. Setting a crossover point by ear. Finding rattles in a room or a car. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Is there anything to watch out for?
Start with the volume low and raise it slowly. Sustained pure tones are far more damaging to hearing than music at the same apparent loudness, and asking a small speaker to reproduce very low or very high frequencies at volume can damage the driver.
Why does the test start on its own?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The Subwoofer Test uses the browser's own device APIs and begins as soon as the page loads, so there is nothing to press first. Press Reset at any point to start over with a clean slate.
