Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a 1-second silence as a ringtone?

Yes. Download the MP3 version and set it as a ringtone on iOS or Android. The phone will 'ring' silently — useful for muting specific contacts without Do Not Disturb.

Is 1 second enough for audio testing?

For basic playback tests and format detection, yes. For testing silence detection thresholds and audio level meters, try 5 or 30 seconds.
