Hide an image inside sound. FrequencyCat is a playful tool for exploring the connection between images, sound, and spectrograms.
Choose an image, and FrequencyCat transforms it into a unique audio signal. Play the sound and view its spectrogram, and you’ll see the original image emerge again from the frequencies.
With FrequencyCat, you can:
- Turn images into sound
- View audio spectrograms in real time
- Play sounds and reveal the images hidden inside them
- Explore how different images create different sounds
- Discover the relationship between sound, frequency, and Fourier transforms in an intuitive way
There’s no magic behind it. Just frequencies, phases, an inverse Fourier transform, and a little curiosity about sound.
Whether you’re interested in acoustics, music, signal processing, or simply wondering what an image might sound like, FrequencyCat gives you a new way to explore.
Pick an image. Hear what it sounds like.
