What is 174 Hz?
174 Hz is the lowest frequency in the traditional Solfeggio scale, a six-note sequence that appears in medieval music theory. In modern sound-healing and wellness communities, 174 Hz is sometimes described as a calming and grounding tone, associated with relief and physical comfort.
As with all these frequencies, the claimed benefits are cultural and anecdotal rather than medically proven. You do not need to believe in any effect to enjoy the low, warm hum — it can be a pleasant background tone for resting, reading, or relaxing.
Because 174 Hz is quite low, it is also a practical way to test the bass response of a speaker or pair of headphones. If you have ever wondered whether your audio gear reproduces low notes, a steady 174 Hz tone is a quick and simple way to find out.
How to use this 174 Hz generator
Press Play to start a steady 174 Hz tone. Because this frequency is quite low, a sine wave produces a smooth, deep hum that is easy to settle into. You may need to raise the volume a little, since low frequencies are perceived as quieter than higher ones at the same level.
Headphones often reproduce deep bass better than small phone speakers. If the tone feels faint or you cannot hear it clearly, try headphones or an external speaker instead of the built-in phone speaker, which rarely handles sub-200 Hz well.
Export a short WAV with the download controls if you want to keep the tone for a playlist or a personal relaxation routine. The file is rendered locally, so it is instant and private.
The tone auto-stops after 60 seconds. Press Stop anytime if you are done listening.
