GENERATE TEST FILES
http://www.brothersoft.com/audio-test-file-generator-160183.html
“It generates Window’s RIFF Wave Format audio files with stereo”
16 bit sine wave signals of the highest precision, in the full range of 10 Hz to 22050 Hz, at attenuation values from 0 to 90 dB. It also includes a Pink Noise generator. The complete specifications are available here. The selectable Musical Notes are calculated to a precision rounded up to 11 Decimal places, becoming a precise standard reference for the Modern Even Tempered Scale to which you can CaliBrate your Equipment and musical instruments.

http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/4079/create-an-audio-test-cd-of-sine-waves-from-1-to-99-hz
This command creates and burns a gapless audio CD with 99 tracks. Each track is a 30 second sine wave, the first is 1 Hz, the second 2 Hz, and so on, up to 99 Hz. This is useful for testing audio systems (how low can your bass go?) and for creating the constant vibrations needed to make non-Newtonian fluids (like cornstarch and water) crawl around.
