Set Audacity preferences for the audio standard you want (48000, 16 bit). Generate > tone > [Sine, 400, 0.5 amplitude (-6dB), 1 sec.]

OK.

Audacity does not easily generate stereo tones.

Missed a step. Export As WAV... to get the output mono file. Wave has far less distortion than MP3.

You just need to create a stereo track first.
