Source

Change the sound source here, for example to your own track. “Difficulty” already sets the bands and the gain. Drag a knob up or down. On a computer you can also use the mouse wheel, or click the knob and press the arrow keys.

Choose a card to hear its band boosted. Seven of these eleven bands have a speech sound to help you remember them. Studio engineers use this trick.

Why speech sounds help, and how to practise

A sound is often easier to remember than a number. So link each band to a speech sound: 250 Hz is “oo” as in boot, 500 Hz “oh” as in go, 1 kHz “ah” as in father, 2 kHz “eh” as in bed, 4 kHz “ee” as in see. Higher up, consonants take over: 8 kHz hisses like “ss”, 16 kHz like “ts”. Start on Easy, then move to Medium and Hard. Ten minutes a day is better than one long session.
