ToneNoise is a focused Audio Unit v3 plugin for iOS: a precise test and noise generator for production, sound design, and technical work. Whether you need a reference tone, spectrum analysis, or relaxing noise — ToneNoise delivers four clear signal types with a small set of straightforward controls. The interface is built for fast use inside your host app. FEATURES • Sine wave with adjustable frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz • White noise — evenly distributed across the full spectrum • Pink noise — more natural character (−3 dB per octave) • Brown noise — deeper, softer sound (−6 dB per octave) • Amplitude control from 0 to 100% • Two AUv3 components: generator (augn) and effect (aufx) • Parameter automation and preset storage in the host • Compact, dark user interface IDEAL FOR • Reference and measurement tones in mobile production • EQ and speaker checks • Noise source for sound design and experimentation • Quick test signals in AUM, GarageBand, and other AUv3 hosts HOW TO USE TONENOISE 1. Launch ToneNoise once on your device (registers the Audio Units). 2. Open it in your host, e.g. AUM: – as a generator: Generator channel → Audio Units → AuIm → ToneNoise – as an effect: Effect slot → Audio Units → AuIm → ToneNoise
Splitonic

Splitonic is an AUv3 audio unit for iOS and macOS. It is a filter based on the Fourier spectrum of the input signal and can be used to split the sound in a harmonic and a percussive component. Ideal for remixing when no separate stems are available. Features: - AUv3 Plugin for iOS & macOS. - Spectrogram decomposition: Splits an audio signal into controllable pitched and transient energy layers. - Real time processing: Low-latency controllable by the user. - Kernel dimensions: Adjustable horizontal (time) and vertical (frequency) median filter sizes. - Separation threshold: Configurable threshold to trade off separation isolation against musical artifacts. - Three-Way Separation: Isolates an additional "residual" or noise component to capture background hiss, vocals, or applause. - Preset system: with factory and user presets, plus import/export. - Demo mode available: purchase to unlock full version. - Optimized layout: for portrait and landscape orientations.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Splitonic at 4 against ToneNoise's 2. Splitonic also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
