If you own a Samsung Galaxy phone (like the S23 Ultra or any Android 14/ 15 /OneUI 6.1/ 7 device), you can easily identify songs by humming, singing, or whistling.
Method 1: Use Google Assistant to Find Songs by Humming
Google Assistant has a built-in music recognition feature that works even if you hum or sing the melody. This is how to use it:
- Wake Up Google Assistant
- Say, “Hey Google” or press and hold the home button (or swipe up from the bottom corner of your screen).
- Ask, “What’s this song or What song is this?”
- Wait for Google Assistant to say, “Sing, hum, or whistle the tune.”
- Hum, Sing, or Whistle
- Get as close to the melody as you can. Even 10–15 seconds of humming should work.
- Wait for Results
- Google will analyze the audio and show matching songs. If it finds a match, you’ll see the song title, artist, and links to streaming services.
Tip: Hum clearly and avoid background noise for better results.
Method 2: Use a Music Recognition App
If Google Assistant doesn’t recognize the tune, try a third-party app like SoundHound, which specializes in identifying songs by humming.
Steps for SoundHound:
- Download SoundHound
- Install SoundHound from the Google Play Store.
- Open the App and Tap the Mic Icon
- Grant microphone access when prompted.
- Hum or Sing the Tune
- Hold your phone close and hum the melody for 10–20 seconds.
- Check Results
- SoundHound will display possible matches, including lyrics and streaming links.
Other apps to try:
- Shazam: While it’s better for recognizing recorded music, it’s worth trying if you’re near a speaker.
- Google App: Tap the microphone icon in the search bar and say, “Search a song,” then hum.
Why This Works
Both Google Assistant and apps like SoundHound use audio fingerprinting and machine learning aka. AI to match your hum or whistle to a song’s unique melody. No lyrics needed.
If the song is popular enough it will find it really fast. Some less popular songs might not be recognized.
Tips
- No match? Try humming a longer or more accurate or try a different part of the song that is more unique.
- Check your internet connection: Music recognition requires data.
- Update your apps: Ensure Google Assistant or SoundHound is up-to-date.
Conclusion
Any time you can grab your Samsung Galaxy phone and let Google Assistant or a music app do the searching.
