YouTube Music Introduces Sound Search Through Humming & Singing

YouTube Music has rolled out an innovative component that is sure to cause ripples! The new feature allows users to search for songs in the most convenient of ways. These include humming, singing or playing a tune that could be straightaway fed into the app for recognition. It comes into existence after about a year of testing.

Available through a waveform icon in the search bar, the sound search feature accesses the streaming giant’s database of over 100 million official songs. It then attempts to implement a precise result depending on the input. YouTube Music is also experimenting with AI-backed conversational radio. This new aspect grants users to conceive custom radio stations basis of a verbal description of their musical choices.

We hope to bring this to even more YouTube Music users in the future,

These new set of features are chunks of an extensive set of improvements YouTube Music has introduced recently. It has launched an experimental feature in October that allows users to create a personalized playlist utilizing artificial intelligence. The Samples tab providing a customized stream of small song snippets was already launched less than a year ago.


The sound search feature is available to the streaming provider’s subscribers on both iOS and Android.
