myNoise stands out with its unique capability to compensate for potential hearing impairments, audio equipment deficiencies, and shortcomings in your listening environment.
Calibration settings will be saved as a browser cookie and can be retrieved at any time by selecting the 'Balanced' or 'Full' options found under the iEQ section on every generator page.
During calibration, if a specific band remains silent across the entire slider range, set it back to zero. It isn't beneficial to emphasize frequencies you can't hear or that your speakers can't reproduce. Ideally, the majority of sliders should be in the lower half of the user interface. If this is not the case, simply increase your computer's volume and restart the calibration process.
1. Increase your computer's volume until the static noise used for calibration starts to be perceptible. If the static sound is too loud, turn the volume down. The static noise should be barely audible.
If you don't hear any sound, your browser might have blocked the sound from auto-playing and is waiting for your action. Click the button below to start the calibration process.
2. Move each slider until the corresponding sound is just audible to you (in the case of the hearing-threshold variant) or until all sliders create sounds at the same perceived volume level (in the case of the equal loudness variant).
After all the sliders have been properly adjusted, 3. Save your curve.
Return to your Noise Page, or choose a new one, then 3. load your calibration data by clicking one of the options under the iEQ section.
Once calibrated, you have two options under the iEQ section: 'balanced' or 'full'. If your hearing is perfect, but your headphones aren't, the 'full' option is the best. It then will fully compensate for your headphones deficiencies. If you are using good headphones, you won't hear much of a difference - that makes sense. But if your headphones are top-notch and you have hearing loss, the full option will probably sound too bright, though it exactly compensates for your hearing loss. That's because your brain has adapted to your hearing loss, and now treats it as the normal baseline. Fully compensating for your hearing loss at this point will result in a change that your brain is not ready to accept. Therefore, iEQ offers a more conservative setting labelled 'balanced'.
