Google trick lets you hum to figure out the song that's stuck in your head

mirror.co.uk:

There’s nothing more irritating than having a song stuck in your head, but not being able to work out the name of the song or any of the lyrics.

But the days of irritating your friends with ‘da daaa da da daaa na na ooooh yeah’ efforts could be a thing of the past, thanks to Google 's new feature.

The tech giant has launched a feature called ‘hum to search’, which, unsurprisingly, lets you hum to search for songs. Krishna Kumar, Senior Product Manager at Google Search, said: “Starting today, you can hum, whistle or sing a melody to Google to solve your earworm.” The feature uses machine learning to transform your hums into a number-based sequence, representing the song’s melody.
