All values assume twelve-tone equal temperament at the international standard pitch of A4 = 440 Hz. In that system every semitone has the same size - a frequency ratio of 2^(1/12) - so G7 is exactly 440 × 2^(34/12) Hz. Under alternative references the note shifts with the reference: at A4 = 432 Hz, G7 becomes 3078.9 Hz.

Each octave doubles the frequency - the simplest relationship in music, and the reason notes an octave apart sound like “the same note, higher”.

One semitone down is F♯7 at 2960.0 Hz; one semitone up is G♯7 at 3322.4 Hz. Need a frequency between notes, or a different waveform? The tone generator plays anything from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; the note ↔ frequency converter does the math both directions, and the chromatic tuner listens to your instrument and shows the offset in cents.

G7 FAQ

What frequency is G7?

How do I tune to G7?

Play the tone above and match your instrument by ear until the beating between the two pitches slows and disappears, or use the chromatic tuner with your microphone for a cents readout. Small mistunings show up as slow beats: one beat per second at this pitch means you are about 0.6 cents off.
