Think that you have perfect pitch? test yourself 

This is another perfect pitch, but is impossible ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6AR5lc8qfRc.html

Why did I click on this I know for a fact I don't have perfect pitch lmao

The "memory clearing" music is fucking terrifying.

me: “G” Video: “B” Me: “I KNEW IT”

That cleaning out your memory is terrifying 🤪😅

Why did I click on this? I don't even know the notes' names

that music will haunt my dreams forever

Me: "Oh it's a Bb" Video: "A#" Me: "What the- Oh wait I nailed it"

the ads cleared out my memory more than the music

Can I have my precious memories back now...

That awkward moment when you immediately also know the notes of the "memory clearing" music.. lol

Me after every single one: "That must be G" When G finally appears: "I KNEW IT! I'VE GOT PERFECT PITCH!"

Me: d flat video: c sharp

I keep hearing Dubstep being played and thought it was music that clears your memory. 40 second later, I realize the Dubstep was being played from another tab I had opened. *FACEPALM*

I sang C during the memory clearing music

Video: *plays G* Me: WHEN I WAS-

The “clearing music” sounded like some backwards Legend of Zelda music

0/20 ! Now I know why people cry when I sing.

Before I even looked at the comments, I knew practically everyone would be claiming to have perfect pitch.

Me: "A or B!" It was A#

Me: A Video: B ooh only one letter apart!

Those awkward moments when you know the sounds as "do re mi" but doesn't know the "C,D,E" thing

Agh why is that I am always one half-step off?

There are four types of people: Perfect pitch Relative pitch Tone-deaf Emo

no one: charlie puth: *"I HAVE A PERFECT PITCH"*

It's weird when the overtones start screwing with you bc the tone isn't pure. Then the strength of the overtones changes as the note is held.

Got a solid 0/20. Was only a tone off on a few of them, but it was mostly a complete guess. Have been been playing piano and singing in choirs for years. If anyone else is reading these and getting depressed by the amount of people claiming to get them all right with no music background, don't despair.

2:48 the first note of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

me: *has perfect pitch and knows it* *gets everything right* also me: *surprised pikachu face*

Well that was depressing.

the interlude music almost made me cry.. omg im so scared

that memory wiping didn't work.. I still had C memorised....

It's weird, I can only know when a C is being played

The "memory cleaning" music does nothing, I always end up remembering what C sounds like and building up from there.

Having perfect pitch is actually a curse in its own way. You always have the enapt ability to hear every wrong note played, and if you aren't the director you can't do anything about it. At least you never have to worry about playing out of tune :D

4:53 only emos and perfect pitch people get this

nobody: people in the comments with perfect pitch: “lmao 20/20” “actually that was an A natural” “i already knew i had perfect pitch”

8 of 10 people in the comments are saying they have a perfect pitch.

i only got g at 4:53 because i'm emo trash and i know welcome to the black parade by mcr

I know the sound of a high E string when i hear one.

I watched it in reverse and got every single one 😎

Consistently 1 semitone out... what the hell? >_< Maybe because I learnt on a piano that was slightly flat....

how can a person do this without understanding the naming scheme. without being told what letters go with what notes, how can you know? I could understand asking someone to press the key on a keyboard, if they knew the first and last keys, because then keyboard would be a continuum. but you have to have preexisting knowledge of music for a test like this.

Well I know the G in that specific octave! I wonder why

7/20, and like 80% of my mistakes were off by a semitone or a tone. I know I don't have perfect pitch but I pause the video at every note played, sing the note for a while and then I can naturally kinda "feel" a range where it belongs. Also I've imprinted the middle C in my head, so sometimes I cheated, sang the note given and then sang a C and kinda identified the interval between them. After a while even my "imprinted C" was a little flat or sharp though, but it guided me decently well. I can be very close to identifying a pitch, but automatically knowing a note is impossible. Still proud of myself though, not that bad for 2.5 years of learning music. EDIT 2 YEARS LATER: Guys, I took the test again. I always liked the "guess the pitch" game because I find it challenging, so I kept guessing notes I heard around me quite a lot. I have imprinted so well the middle C in my head, that now if you randomly ask me to hum a G# for example, I'll jump a perfect fifth from the middle C and add a semitone and I'll probably hum it correctly in a couple of seconds! So, two years of progress made me score 15/20 in this test, and I was guessing the note within the few seconds the video has for you to think. First time I did it, I remember pausing the video to hum and think of the note, again and again. So now I can answer quicker and with less mistakes! 4 out of the 5 wrong notes were a semitone off, and the other one was a tone off. Of course that's not perfect pitch, that's very good tonal memory and the knowledge of some basic intervals, but it can be mistaken as perfect pitch because I guess the note kinda quickly, until I make a mistake, where my cheat-perfect pitch fails haha

19/20, the timpani wasn't really fair. It was too short, and had tons of overtones. If I kept re-playing it I could have gotten it, but I did the test without replaying.

Seriously though, that "memory clearing" music didn't help at all, since I could still identify every single one of those notes.

Accidentally paused during black screen, still waiting for the next note. lmao😂

I can't name the note, but i can find almost in a second in my guitar, if i train i might have perfect pitch?

I tried taking this test at night with headphones off, but I changed my mind when I heard the memory-cleaning music

Don't worry I can hear all of the notes from that creepy music . You don't have to clear my mind ;)

doing this test knowing darn well i have perfect pitch just to validate myself and feel what it’s like to get 100%

Me: always 2 whole tones wrong Also me: gets F right Me: sorry everyone but I'm the virtuoso you never knew you needed but always deserved, not everyone can be on my level

Is there anyone else that knew they have perfect pitch and went through the video anyways?

I thought this was totally normal when I was like 5 years old, like I could identify the key of a song and notes, but I had never gone to singing lessons (or anything related to music) since I was 14. I think it's something you're born with. however I don't think it makes you better, in fact it's sometimes annoying because I can't listen to a song whose key was changed because it bothers me a lot.

19/20, the drum one had like 30 overtones so I couldnt hear that one

20/20, and I was also identifying the notes in the memory clearer music. The tympani was a nice test. Now, you guys need to make one with the sounds of appliances, like washers & driers. An air compressor would be good, too.

I has perfect pitch, a normal 15 year old. Funny story. I originally discovered that I have it before this video, and I didn't know it was a big deal. Then one day, my choir teacher was playing one of our all state songs, and she kept playing a wrong note. So I pointed out that she was playing a flat and it needed to be a natural. (Or something like that it was a while ago) then she was stuck on another note and I corrected her again. Then called me out and started playing notes on the piano, and told me to name the notes without looking. I got them all right. Then, she called in our clinician that was helping us, and she did it again. Her reaction was simply "holy s***" I kid you not. I was all confused because I didn't know what that meant. I thought it was common sense. Then people in band and choir started noticing and I was like, maybe this is a big deal! Just a little story... I just wanted to share that.

i have perfect pitch and i thought the beginning music was the test so I was naming out all the notes being played... lol

i dont think that music is clearing my brain im pretty sure it scaring the shit out of me

Video: *tries to clear my memory* Me: ‘*hums B over video* good luck

My daughter has absolute perfect pitch. She was listening to a video when I played this in the background for her. I have neither perfect nor relative pitch but accompany her singing. One thing that she has a lot of trouble with is if she's given music in a different key than is being played - like if I know a melody and need the words, give me it in any key and I can sing along. She can't. The difference in key of what's being played vs what she's reading on paper makes her crazy.

I always thought it was normal to be able to do this.... Turns out I am 1 in 10,000....

video: plays sound me: uhhhhh let's go with F Video: C Me: Ah yes that's what I meant

I can’t stop laughing at the memory clearing music. It’s just so dissonant 😭

I got 0 out of 20, so much for me having "the gift"!

I have perfect pitch. I didn't know what it was until last year. My family always told me I had a good ear, since I could learn stuff by ear. I thought everybody could hear different notes and could identify them. I casually told my flute teacher I could identify notes, and he said, "Oh cool! You have perfect pitch," but didn't tell me how rare it was. My family and I, a year later, were walking through a parking lot when a car horn honked. I said, "That car was honked an A flat, my favorite note!" My mom freaked out and asked how I did that. I said, "I have perfect pitch, you didn't know that? Can't everyone hear notes?" Nope! Apparently 1 in ten thousand have this. I can hear notes, sing a given pitch without assistance, and be able to identify intonation. I cringe to notes not in tune. I'm not boastful about my gift, and I only use it when I need to.

The music reminds me of the sounds I used to hear when I was very young

I was not expecting the "clearing your memory" music to be so scary... and I DEFINITELY wasn't expecting it to get even scarier over time! I guess it helped me stay engaged though. It probably is hard to clear someone's memory without resorting to some dark magic. Got all of them except for the 19th one. I kept flip-flopping between F and F#...

Memory clearing music sounds very majoras mask-ish

Funny how this test is irrelevant towards people who never studied music and don't even have a clue how each note is supposed to sound in the first place

I swear to god I thought everybody had this until a friend told me otherwise.

Jesus that memory clearing nearly gave me a stroke. Thanks.

i always get nervous when people test me for perfect pitch because Anxiety lmao but i do it perfect every time like even if i have to think about it for a moment (i'm not familiar with some instrumental sounds) i still get it right, which makes me happy. i can differentiate notes in a two-note chord now too which makes me even happier!! (note i've been mostly self trained the past 3 or 4 years so i don't know a lot of musical terms lmao)

Got 19/20. When the timpani like instrument played a D, I couldn't hear the note correctly so I thought it was F.

Me: "C" Video: "G#" Me: "dafuq"

I've been training myself on the piano for a few weeks now and I got 16/20, with the four misses being only a half tone off. Also, several sounds in real life have been triggering my recognition, such as a door opening, a car buzzing or even people's voices. I've never had PP and I'm 19, let's see how far I can get. OBS: the daily-life pitches recognition is spontaneous. I don't have to actively try it.

17/20... But I don't think it counts as perfect or relative pitch because I often assign a song that's stuck in my head to each note (Bohemian Rhapsody, Fur Elise, etc.)

Thank you for making me depressed now hahah :(

*4:52** plays* me: WHEN I WAS-

4:52 when I was a young boy...

i knew the g5 because of welcome to the black parade

How the fuck am I always half a note off??

The only one I was unsure of was the Ab1, which I perceived as either Ab or A (wasn’t sure). I also was able to note the chord changes and melodies by note in the interludes. It interests me, what it would be like to no longer recognize pitches. But I am deeply grateful for the ability!

Having perfect pitch makes the memory clearing song sound 10x more dissonant than it might without it

5:47 was almost challenging 7:12 was both a C# (lower) and an A (higher) 8:34 was barely closer to D than it was to D# Nonetheless, 20/20

The test was great, but I would suggest one small adjustment to the bell tone at 7:13 to make it perfect. I would recommend that this tone be changed to a sine wave or any tone that does not have strong overtones because my ear picked up the C# first before the A. Other than that, the test was a blast! 20 out of 20! Thanks for sharing!!

i have a weird situation i cant tell if i have perfect pitch or not. I got 19/20 . any natural notes i can identify immediately but sharps and flats take me a couple seconds and i have to hear the natural note thats next to it, identify it and then know what the pitch is . so do i have perfect pitch ? i learned piano and guitar when i was around 9-11 yrs old. just providing context if it helps

Thank you for the clarification. What about silence as the obsticle? Im trying to approach this this from a holistic pragmatic social standpoint where an infinite variety of aspiring musicians experience similar numbers of everyday sonic environments and backgrounds of combined pitch and rhythm where familiarisation with reading and musicianship are acquired as a mix -as via the mother tongue with language. An example is of my late N Wales father in law singing his tenor line in 4 part male voice harmony at the coal face. The attributes of these skills in public`s perception of them too, is of concern to me.

My director mentioned that I had perfect pitch, so I decided hey why not test it to see if they were right. Got all 20 and my director was right.

20/20. You don't naturally have to have absolute pitch or "memory clearing" (it actually made it worse) I train myself. Now i can do 2 notes randomly played. just think of popular songs that start in that pitch and you'll pretty much have absolute pitch if you keep training!

whats the significance of a "score"? is it a test to measure skill at a point in time and if so what about development/improvement outside of the test ; or nurture? or is there room for allowing change to improve with training

I passed this test perfectly along with every individual note test out there, but somehow I keep doubting myself. In real life, sometimes there are sounds that are "foggy" to me and it takes me a moment to figure out their pitch, and with songs that are harmonically rich I have to pause and think to find out the tonality. I've had a very basic musical training. Do I not have PP, or do I just need more practice?

4:55 WHERE WAS MY WARNING MY SMOL EMO HEART CAN’T TAKE IT

4:20 When the concert band is tuning

I can get all the CDEFGAB and Bb without any reference, but sometimes I cant get the flat ones (most of the time ) Is it perfect pitch?

99% of comments ." I too have the pitch that is perfect."

I got 2/20... T_T Guess I'm not pitch perfect after all

I know I don’t have perfect pitch.. I just came here so I could develop a tiny bit of self confidence

I always mix up: B and E, A and D. I can always say for certain it's one or the other. Is there any reason that it's specifically those two pairs that I confuse?
