It used to take a while to remember or locate music lyrics that we had forgotten. However, YouTube, which is owned by Google, has now released a new feature that makes finding songs easier. YouTube will search its database to discover a match based on the melody if you just hum a brief section of the song for roughly three seconds.
A new function called “hum to search” is being tested by YouTube Music on their Android app. Thanks to this function, users can search for songs by recording a brief segment of a song for three seconds or less, or by humming or singing along. YouTube’s clever technology syncs your humming or recording to the distinctive tune of the music. After that, it plays videos—both user-generated and official—that are associated with that song. As part of a Google test, this functionality is currently only accessible to a select few Android users.
How to Use the “Hum to Search” feature for music on YouTube
It’s vital to note that YouTube is testing a new search tool in order to clarify how the YouTube hum feature operates. Users can use this tool to find songs by recording a portion of the tune or by humming or singing along. It is currently only available on the Android app and is being tested on a limited user base.
The procedures to utilize the recently added humming capability for song discovery are as follows:
- Launch the YouTube app on your mobile device.
- In the upper right corner of the screen, tap the Search symbol.
- To activate the hum-to-search feature, simply tap the microphone icon that appears next to the search field.
- Give your microphone to YouTube for this function.
- No, locate the melody of the song by humming, singing, or whistling.
- YouTube will search for the song using the audio input you provided and display a list of results.
- Press it to start listening to the song if you’re happy with the outcome. If not, try searching the song and humming the tune once more.
