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:

  1. Wake Up Google Assistant
  • Say, “Hey Google” or press and hold the home button (or swipe up from the bottom corner of your screen).
  1. Ask, “What’s this song or What song is this?”
  • Wait for Google Assistant to say, “Sing, hum, or whistle the tune.”
  1. Hum, Sing, or Whistle
  • Get as close to the melody as you can. Even 10–15 seconds of humming should work.
  1. 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:

  1. Download SoundHound
  1. Open the App and Tap the Mic Icon
  • Grant microphone access when prompted.
  1. Hum or Sing the Tune
  • Hold your phone close and hum the melody for 10–20 seconds.
  1. 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.
