Sound Reaction Time Test
A quick 5‑round benchmark: react when you hear the tone (click/tap or Space).
Test
About accuracy
This is a browser game measurement. Your score includes device input delay and your audio output path (system buffering, Bluetooth). For a fair comparison, compare your own results across setups (wired vs Bluetooth) rather than across people. If you want to diagnose output delay, try the latency test.
Tip: keep your finger resting lightly. Warm up 2–3 rounds before you judge your “real” speed.
Entertainment only — device and browser dependent. For diagnosing Bluetooth output delay, see latency test.
What it measures (practical)
This is a browser timing measurement. Your score includes your reaction plus device input delay and your audio output path (system buffering, Bluetooth). That’s why the most meaningful comparison is your own results across setups (wired vs Bluetooth) or across days.
Searching for “sound reflex test” or “audio reflex test”? You’re in the right place — they typically describe the same sound‑cue reaction test.

FAQ
- What is sound reaction time?
- Sound reaction time is how quickly you respond after hearing a cue. In a browser, the measured time includes your reaction plus device input delay and audio output delay (system buffering, Bluetooth).
- Is this a sound reflex test / audio reflex test?
- Yes — those terms are often used for the same kind of game: react to a sound cue as fast as possible. The exact number can vary with setup (especially Bluetooth).
- Is this accurate in milliseconds?
- It’s measured in milliseconds, but it’s not a lab instrument. Treat it as a consistent personal benchmark on the same device and setup (wired vs Bluetooth) rather than a universal comparison across people.
- Should I use wired headphones?
- Yes, if you want the most consistent results. Bluetooth output delay can inflate scores and add jitter.
- How many rounds should I do?
- Five rounds gives a quick benchmark. If you’re tracking progress, compare averages over multiple sessions (e.g., a 7‑day trend).
- Is this a medical hearing test?
- No. This is a timing game for entertainment and setup checks. It does not measure hearing thresholds.
Not a medical hearing assessment.
