All frequency sound generator tools in one app! Tone generation, sound tests, musical tuning and many more. This app helps if you are looking for generating sounds in different frequencies, analyzing sound and making sound tests which produce sound waves based on the desired tone. Frequency sound generator includes user-friendly and very high-quality tone generation tools: • Single frequency generator • Multiple frequency tone generation. • Musical notes presets • Binaural beats • SFX sound generator • Sweep generator. • Bass/Subwoofer sound test • DTMF tones • Metronome • Noise generator Features: • Play sound in background: Play your frequency generation sounds in the background while your app is minimized or your screen is off. • Export all generated sounds to an audio file that you can share. • Animated wave in the single oscillator tool. • Frequency generator effects such as Vibrato (FM), Tremolo (AM), Ring Modulation (RM) and also Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) - for square wave only. • Noise generator effects such as auto-pan and breathing effect. • Play up to 15 oscillators at once in the multi oscillator tool. • Play up to 15 sweep oscillators at once. • Tap your tempo in metronome. Commonly used for: • Make you own experiments with sound generation. • Testing own hearing. Human ear is capable of hearing frequencies between 20Hz to 20000Hz. • Use this app as an instrument for playing or producing music. • Tune your musical instruments with musical notes presets. • Test speakers for high end (treble) and low end (bass) tones. • Discover how your audio handles sweeps of frequencies which range from ultrasound to infrasound. • Relax with binaural beats which play different frequencies in each ear. • Find a way to mask your tinnitus frequency. • Or have fun generating random sound effects, different frequencies and exploring all tone generation tools in this app. • Relax with white noise, brown noise, blue noise, violet noise, grey noise or pink noise playing in the background. Notes: • This app supports decimal values as input for frequencies when generating a tone. • This app makes an animated sound wave which tries to visualize a current frequency. • There are several waveforms available: sine, square, triangle and sawtooth. • Clean UI makes navigation simple through the navigation bar or pages where there are more frequency sound generating tools available. • Customize how the app behaves through settings menu where you can change themes, enable octave buttons, decimal points and more. • Phone speakers are not high-quality audio sources and may vary in quality. Sometimes a "parasite" noise can be generated by those speakers in very low or high frequencies which don't define the frequency. • Turn the volume down when creating high frequencies to not cause any discomfort when experimenting with the app. Privacy policy: https://dczt.dev/eula-terms-of-use.html Terms of use: https://dczt.dev/app-privacy-policy.html
Tonscape

Tonscape is a precise sine-wave tone generator and real-time spectrum analyzer in one clean app. Dial in any frequency your iPhone can actually produce — from 0.01 Hz up to the hardware Nyquist limit (around 24,000 Hz) — typed to two decimal places or swept with a logarithmic slider. Set the exact pitch you need, control the volume up to full output, and play a pure, continuous sine tone. Then prove it. The built-in microphone spectrum analyzer captures sound in real time and shows you the full frequency spectrum on a live, neon display. A single-frequency detector measures the exact level at any frequency you choose, and a noise-floor comparison tells you whether that frequency is genuinely present above the background — even faint signals buried in noise, thanks to spectral averaging. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Generate exact frequencies to 0.01 Hz, only the ones your device can truly produce - Adjust volume from silent to full power - See a live, averaging FFT spectrum analyzer with peak-hold - Tap the spectrum to probe any frequency independently of the tone you're playing - Get a clear "present / not detected" readout with dB-over-noise - Identify your iPhone model and its estimated speaker range RELAX & SLEEP (Pro) - Binaural beats and isochronic tones with brainwave-band presets (delta, theta, alpha, beta) - White, pink, and brown noise generators - Nature sounds: ocean, rain, wind, stream, campfire - Sleep timer with gentle fade-out, plus background playback so it keeps going with the screen off - One-tap presets: Schumann/earth resonance, Solfeggio, and tuning references SOUND DESIGN (Pro) - Sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms - Chords and a logarithmic frequency sweep GREAT FOR - Sleep, relaxation, focus, and meditation soundscapes - Testing speakers, headphones, and subwoofers - Checking whether a specific frequency is present in a room or signal - Audio education, tuning references, and equipment checks Note: binaural beats require headphones. Labels for resonance/Solfeggio presets are descriptive only — the app makes no medical or therapeutic claims. Tiny phone speakers roll off at very low and very high frequencies, so some tones may be inaudible through the built-in speaker even though the signal is generated correctly — use headphones or external speakers for the full range.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tonscape at none against Frequency Sound Wave Generator's shown. Frequency Sound Wave Generator's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
