Level Guide (Auditory Reaction)
Auditory reactions typically run 50-80ms faster than visual ones. The visual average is about 250ms; the auditory average is about 150-170ms.

What Is the Audio Reaction Time Test?
The audio reaction time test measures how quickly you can click or tap after hearing a beep (880Hz). Five rounds are measured and your level is judged from the average. * Browser-based measurement includes OS and browser event-processing delay — treat the numbers as a benchmark.
Auditory vs. Visual Reaction Time
Human auditory reactions are generally 50-80ms faster than visual ones, because sound takes a shorter path to the brain. Against a visual average of about 250ms, the auditory average sits around 150-170ms. In FPS games, how fast you react to footsteps hinges largely on this auditory reaction speed.
Tips for Stable Measurements
- Test in a quiet environment with headphones or earbuds
- Don\u2019t watch the screen — focus entirely on the sound
- Relax, and rest your finger on the click position in advance
- Fatigue and caffeine change your results
- Treat the first round or two as a casual warm-up

Q. Which is more accurate, this or the visual reaction test?
A. Both are accurate — they just measure different things. Visual tests measure the eye → brain → hand path; this one measures ear → brain → hand.

Q. Do Bluetooth earbuds add latency?
A. Yes — Bluetooth can add tens to hundreds of milliseconds. For accurate measurement, use wired headphones or speakers.
