Understanding Your Mic Test Results

The test provides more than a simple yes/no. Here's what the data means:

The Waveform Graph

This is a visual representation of your voice. When you speak, you should see this line move up and down. A flat line means the mic isn't picking up sound.

Background Noise (Noise Floor)

This measures the level of ambient sound in your environment in decibels (dB). A lower number is better, indicating a quieter room.

Audio Quality (SNR)

Signal-to-Noise Ratio compares your voice level to the background noise. A higher SNR means your voice is much clearer than the noise, which is ideal for recording and calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does an online mic test work?

Our tool uses the built-in Web Audio API in modern browsers. It locally accesses your microphone's audio stream and visualizes it in real-time on the graph, allowing you to "see" your voice. This check happens entirely on your device.

Is it safe to test my microphone online?

Yes, 100%. Our microphone tester is designed with privacy as the top priority. We do not record, save, or transmit any of your audio. The entire process is client-side, meaning it runs securely within your browser.

Why is my microphone not working?

There are many possible reasons, from simple hardware issues to complex software settings. Common causes include muted microphones, incorrect device selection, blocked browser permissions, or driver problems. Our comprehensive "Fix Your Mic" guide covers all these scenarios.

How can I improve my microphone's audio quality?

To get clearer audio, try these tips: 1) Position the mic closer to your mouth (about 6 inches is ideal). 2) Reduce background noise by closing windows and doors. 3) Use a pop filter to reduce plosives (harsh "p" and "b" sounds). 4) In your system settings, ensure any "mic boost" is not set too high, which can cause distortion.

Does this mic test work on a phone (Android/iPhone)?

Absolutely. Our online mic tester is fully compatible with mobile browsers on both Android and iOS. Just open our website on your phone, tap "Start Mic Test," and allow browser access to check your phone microphone instantly.

Can I use this to test my headset or headphone mic?

Yes. When you connect a headset, your computer should recognize it as a new input device. Simply select your headset from the dropdown menu in our tool to perform a dedicated headphone mic test.

What is microphone echo and how do I fix it?

Mic echo occurs when your microphone picks up sound from your own speakers. The best way to fix it is to wear headphones. If you can't, try moving your speakers further away from your microphone and lowering the speaker volume.

My mic volume is too low. How can I make it louder?

If your mic is too quiet, you need to adjust its input level in your operating system's sound settings. On Windows, this is in "Sound settings > Input > Device properties." On a Mac, it's in "System Settings > Sound > Input." Slide the input volume or gain level to the right.

The test shows my mic is working, but nobody can hear me in an app (Zoom, Discord). Why?

This is a very common issue! It means the problem is with the app's settings, not your system. Open the audio/voice settings within Zoom, Discord, etc., and make sure you have selected the correct microphone as the input device. Sometimes apps default to the wrong mic.

What does "mictest" or "test mikrofonu online" mean?

"Mictest" is a common shorthand for "microphone test." "Test mikrofonu online" is Polish for "online microphone test." People use many terms to find a tool like ours, and we aim to help everyone check their microphone easily, no matter how they search for it.
