Tool description

This Geiger counter sound generator recreates that clicking behavior directly in your browser using the Web Audio API. Since no single click synthesis reads as "realistic" to every ear, the tool offers eight click sound variants, labeled generically (Variant 1-8) so the names don't bias which one you pick-start the simulation and switch between them to hear which sounds right to you. Clicks are scheduled using the same exponential-distribution math that governs real radioactive decay timing, and you can fine-tune the counts-per-minute rate and volume yourself. The interactive panel flashes on every detection and keeps a running total click count. You can also render and download a 10-second WAV sample of the current click pattern.

Features

  • Eight click sound variants - Switch between them while the simulation runs to pick the most convincing tick
  • Realistic randomized clicking - Ticks are scheduled with a Poisson process, just like real radioactive decay
  • Adjustable counts per minute - Fine-tune the rate from 5 to 5000 CPM, live, even while the simulation is playing
  • Live visual feedback - The indicator flashes on every tick and tracks the total click count
  • Downloadable audio - Export a 10-second WAV recording of the current click pattern
