Find a Song by Humming

How to Search Song by Humming Using Google

Google introduced this feature that allows you to hum to find songs in 2020 in more than 20 languages. It’s simple and straightforward. You hum the song and Google will display the results most relevant to the tune.

Here’s how to use Google hum to search for an earworm. Earworm is the term used for a catchy song that has been running in your head on a loop for some time, a tune you can’t get out of your head.

• Open your Google Assistant search widget.
• Tap on the microphone icon.
• Select the search song option.

• Hum the tune of the song you are looking for till the Google humming feature comes up with the result
• If your song isn’t in the results section, tap on More Results

If you don’t have the result you want, try to hum song to Google more clearly.

How does the Hum to Search Feature Work

The hum search feature of Google uses Machine Learning to analyze the hummed tune. It removes other sounds and details, like background noise, instruments, timbre, and tone of voice, to find potential matches.

Google translates your humming into a sequence based on numbers to represent the melody of the song. It then compares this sequence to recordings of audio clips and shows the results with the best matching percentage.
