ToneGen: Sound made visible

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A cymatics research site pairing sound-driven water, thin films and light with browser-based instruments and an interactive simulator.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: Cymatics experimenters and browser-synth curious listeners
Worth noticing: Its feed distinguishes simulated Chladni patterns from filmed plate experiments, and traces a 432 Hz claim to its source.

Field notes

The project pages name concrete materials and methods, including thin-film interference colour in bubble studies and RGB LED rings driven by Arduino and DMX. The feed ranges from classroom demonstrations to browser simulations, and sometimes states plainly when a visual is code-generated rather than filmed from a physical plate. The homepage offers a newsletter signup and a contact route for proposed collaborations.
