YouTube recently shared that it’s testing several song search options on Android, one of which is a way in which the algorithm will recognize hum and direct it to the video that is closest in sound to sound, he wrote. zdnet.com.
Shazam-like functionality can be unique because while Shazam mostly only recognizes original songs or when someone sings an exact lyric, on the other hand, a little buzz might be enough for YouTube.

The latest YouTube experience might sound familiar to some users. In 2020, YouTube’s parent company, Google, first introduced this capability in the Google app, Google Search tool, and Google Assistant, which allowed users to create a song by humming, whistling, or singing into a microphone.
