How do I save an Audacity generated tone to use later or in other audio players?

Audacity 3 Help Forum
1

Hi all
I wish to generate specific tones (e.g. Square wave, 111Hz, 0.8 amplitude, 44100Hz sampling, 2hr duration) used for meditating, healing and other uses, then save them to files to use later and/or export to PC or other devices to play when required.
I couldn’t find how to Save these generated tones from the Manual or searching in this forum.
Would appreciate some advice please :slightly_smiling_face:

To save a tone generated in Audacity for use later or in other audio players, go to File > Export and choose the desired format (e.g., WAV, MP3). Assign a file name, select the appropriate location, and configure export settings as needed. This ensures compatibility across various media players and devices.

Thank you for your prompt advice. That option was greyed out before… most likely because I was playing the generated tone. I suspect WAV format would be the best when saving a specific frequency tone? Also just to save a smaller (say 30min file) if the target playing device has a continuous loop function?

IMO listening to 111Hz square wave for 2 hours would be psychological torture.

Thanks, yes I just used those data amounts as an example. The longer frequency tones will be used for other ‘environmental’ purposes and in those cases fed through a device that has no sound ‘speaker’ attached, but will still resonate the frequency over a distance.

Thanks again. I stopped donating to WiKi because it is published/edited by all sorts of people, some with hidden agendas and at times the information is just wrong. The info and tone (excuse the pun) at the one linked to seems to fit that bill IMO, though I form my opinions from many different sources that I have scrutinised and trust.
