Find a song by humming
Can’t remember the words? Hum or sing the main tune on its own. Melody recognition looks for possible songs rather than requiring an exact recording.

Three ways to identify a song online
A melody in your head and a song playing in a café need different searches. Pick the input that matches your moment.
Find out what song is playing
Use recording mode to capture the original song through your microphone. Keep the music louder than nearby conversation for a clearer sample.
For music you can hearFind a song from an audio file
Already have a recording? Upload the audio instead of playing it out loud. Your browser prepares a short sample before sending it for music recognition.
For the clip you savedWhy use a song finder instead of guessing lyrics?
Sometimes the melody is your only clue. A song finder lets you start with that sound: hum the tune you remember, record the music playing nearby, or upload a saved clip. Compare the song and artist with an available preview or listening link. Noise, arrangements and catalog coverage can still affect the match.
More song recognition tips- Use a quiet space for humming.
- Choose the chorus or a distinct melody.
- Use original-audio mode for recorded music.
- Check the artist and listen before deciding.
Sign-in and search credits
New accounts receive 10 free credits for a first search. Each completed search uses 10 credits, including no-match results. Technical failures do not use credits. Once your free allowance is used, extra searches require credits. Availability depends on the configured recognition services.
See search credit pricingHow to find a song without lyrics
Start with the sound you have. You don’t need to know the song name or remember the lyrics.
Upload, record, or hum
Have an audio clip? Choose Upload. Hear the original song? Choose Record. Remember only the tune? Use Hum or sing for melody recognition.
Capture a clear audio clip
Record about 15 seconds of a chorus or another distinctive part. For an uploaded file, use a clear clip of at least 10 seconds, under 10 MB.
Check the song and artist
Submit your clip, then review the returned song details. Humming can return several possible matches; listen to an available preview to check the melody.
Everyday perspectives on using a song finder
A forgotten chorus, an unnamed audio clip, or a tune that follows you home.
I keep little audio clips with no song names in my editing folder. The upload option is the part I’d reach for first. I’d rather check the artist and listen to a preview than guess from a lyric I probably heard wrong.
Maya Reed

It’s usually three lines of a chorus stuck in my head, never the title. A separate humming mode makes sense to me. I can start with the bit I remember instead of trying to turn a melody into search words.
Daniel Park

I only need to look up a song now and then, so another subscription wouldn’t suit me. A free first search and one-time credits are easier to understand. I like knowing the cost before I send a clip.
Elena Brooks
Language teacher
People often remember a bass line or a chorus, but not a single word. I like starting with the sound rather than a long list of guesses. Checking the artist and version matters too, especially when a song has several covers.
Marcus Ellis
Record shop assistant
I save voice notes of tunes all the time and forget why I recorded them. Being able to choose humming or original music for an upload feels practical. Those are very different clips, even when I’m thinking of the same song.
Sofia Navarro
Graphic designer
A mystery track is a good reason to go digging, not a reason to trust the first title on a screen. I’d use a clear part of the recording, then follow the listening link. The preview is where I’d make up my mind.

Questions? support@songfinder.art
Song finder questions: sound, humming and uploads
What to record, which mode to use, and what to expect from a match.
Can I identify a song without knowing the lyrics?
Yes. If you remember the tune, choose Hum or sing and record the main melody. If you can hear the actual song, choose Record. Neither mode needs a typed song title or lyrics.
Can I find a song online without installing an app?
Yes. Song Finder runs in your browser, so there is no app to install. Sign in, then record or upload an audio clip. Choose Hum or sing for a melody you remember, or Record for the original music. Microphone recording needs permission and an available recognition service.
Can I hum a song to find it?
Yes. Choose Hum or sing and record the melody you remember, without playing the original track in the background. Humming recognition can return several possible songs; listen to an available preview to check the tune. If the actual song is playing, choose Record instead.
How long should I hum or record a song?
Aim for about 15 seconds of a recognizable section. The recorder stops automatically after 15 seconds. Uploaded audio needs at least 10 seconds; the browser prepares a sample of up to 20 seconds for recognition.
Can I upload a file to find a song by audio?
Yes. Choose your search mode, sign in, and select Upload audio. The current uploader accepts audio files under 10 MB. File decoding depends on your browser; if a format fails, try a clear MP3 or WAV clip.
Why did the song identifier return no match?
The clip may be too noisy, the melody may be hard to distinguish, or the track may not be covered by the recognition service. Try a different part of the song and the correct mode. No result is better than an invented song name.
Does Song Finder support YouTube or TikTok links?
Not in this version. Song Finder currently uses microphone recordings and audio file uploads. It does not fetch video links or download music from social platforms.
Is Song Finder free, and do I need an account?
Yes, new accounts receive 10 free credits, enough for one completed song search. Sign in to record, upload or hum. Each completed search uses 10 credits, even if no song matches; technical failures do not use credits. Additional searches require credits. See Pricing for one-time packs with no subscription.
Where is my recorded audio processed?
Your browser captures and prepares the sample. When you submit a search, it is sent to the configured third-party music recognition service. The app does not permanently store raw search audio; provider processing is subject to the provider’s own terms.
Is this song finder part of AHA Music?
No. Song Finder at songfinder.art is an independent website, not AHA Music or its browser extension. Compare the available inputs and credit rules before choosing a music finder; each service has its own features and terms.
Does “hum to search” mean creating a new song?
No. Hum to search means using your sung melody to look for an existing song. Searches such as “hum to music” can also mean turning a melody into new music or MIDI notes. This site identifies possible songs; it does not generate music.
