And when it is installed, in the list of available widgets for the placement on the Android screen, in the Google section there is a "Sound Search" section, after clicking on which the music definition begins using the phone microphone.
- The result of the search using a widget is slightly different from the result using a voice assistant:

How to find out the song or music by sound with Yandex Alice or Yandex Music
If you use the Yandex votor assistant, available for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, among other things, can determine the song by sound. All you need to determine the song on her sound is to ask an appropriate issue of Alice (for example: what kind of song is playing?), Give it to listen and get the result, as in the screenshots below (left - Android, right - iPhone).
Unfortunately, the function only works on iOS and Android devices, while trying to ask her the same question in Windows, Alice answers "So I still don't know how to do it" (let's hope what learn). You can download Alice from the App Store and Play Market as part of the Yandex app.
If you are using Yandex.Music applications, then in it on the Search tab, there is a separate button to search for the name and author of the song on its sound:
Determining the name of the song on music from online video and YouTube
If you need to determine the music on the sound on the computer, for example, from the video on YouTube, for this you can use the following simple features.Extension Aha-Music for Google Chrome
Another working way to determine the name of the song on its sound is an extension of Aha Music for Google Chrome, you can install for free of charge in the official Chrome Store. After installing the extension to the right of the address bar, a button to identify the playback composition will appear - just click on this button and after a while it will be displayed which music playing on the current tab of the browser, below - an example for YouTube.
The extension works properly and defines the songs correctly, and even rare songs in Russian can be found.
Midomi.com.
Another online music recognition service confidently copes with the task - https://www.midomi.com/.
In order to find out the song Online by sound with Midomi.com, go to the site and click on the "Click and Sing or Hum" at the top of the page. As a result, you will first see a request to use the microphone, after which you can sign part of the song (I have not tried, I do not know how to sing) or bring the computer microphone to the sound source, wait about 10 seconds, and if the search does not end automatically, click again There (Clack to Stop will be written) and see what I decided.
However, all that I just wrote is not too convenient if you need to know the melody from the film on the computer. If you have the task specifically in this, and not the definition from the microphone (or you do not have a microphone), you can go as follows:
- Right-click on the speaker icon in the Windows 10, 8.1 or Windows 7 notification area (right below), select "Recording Devices".
- After that, in the list of recording devices, right-click on the free place and select "Show disconnected devices" in the context menu.
- If there was a stereo mixer among these devices, right-click on it and select "Use Default".
Now, when defining a song online in the service Midomi.com, the site will "hear" any sound playing on your computer. The order of action for recognition is the same: launched recognition on the site, launched a song on the computer, waited, stopped the record and saw the name of the song (if you use a microphone for voice communication, do not forget to put it as a default recording device).
Audiotag.info.
Online music definition service for audiootag.info sound is currently working only with examples of files (you can write to the microphone or from a computer) or with links to video in YouTube or other services. Using the site to search for a song will not be difficult, everything is in Russian:
In my test, Audiotag.info did not recognize the popular compositions (recorded on the microphone), if a short passage was presented (10-15 seconds), and on longer files (30-50 seconds) for popular song recognition works well.

Additional Information
Unfortunately, for desktop computers for the definition of songs on their sound, there are not so many: earlier the Shazam application was available at the Windows 10 application store (8.1), but now it has been removed from there. Everything also remains an accessible Soundhound application, but only for phones and tablets on Windows 10 with ARM processors.
If you suddenly have a version of Windows 10 with support for Cortana (for example, English-speaking), then you can ask her a question: "What is this Song?" - She will start "listening" to music and determine what the song is playing.
I hope the above methods are enough for you to find out what the song is playing here or there.
