10-Band Equalizer
The best equalizer for SoundCloud.
Tune every track from 32 Hz sub-bass to 16 kHz air. Pick a preset, dial in a custom curve, or let your favorite genre lead.
22 presets. Infinite custom curves.
Soundy uses Apple's AVAudioEngine for true parametric equalization the same audio stack pro music apps rely on. Adjustments apply in real time with zero glitches.
Playback Speed Control
Slow it down. Speed it up. Stay in pitch.
Play any SoundCloud track from 0.5× to 2.0× without weird chipmunk vocals or muddy bass. Perfect for DJ practice, music transcription, language learning — or just savouring a long slow break.
9 speed presets. Pitch-preserving stretch.
Soundy uses Apple's AVAudioEngine time-pitch unit — the same DSP that drives professional DAWs — so vocals, drums and synths stay perfectly on key whether you're cruising at half speed or sprinting at 2×. Switch presets instantly, or hold one and fine-tune the dial.

Is Soundy a free SoundCloud equalizer?
Yes. Soundy is 100% free to download and use. There are no ads, no in-app purchases required to enable the equalizer, and no paid tiers blocking core playback features.
Does Soundy work as an equalizer for SoundCloud on iPhone?
Yes. Soundy runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac (iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS), and applies its 10-band equalizer in real time to every track you stream from SoundCloud.
What equalizer presets does Soundy include?
Soundy ships with 22 classic iPod-style presets: Flat, Acoustic, Bass Booster, Bass Reducer, Classical, Dance, Deep, Electronic, Hip Hop, Jazz, Latin, Loudness, Lounge, Piano, Pop, R&B, Rock, Small Speakers, Spoken Word, Treble Booster, Treble Reducer and Vocal Booster. You can also create your own custom curve.
Does Soundy show ads or track me?
No. Soundy contains no advertising, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no behavioral tracking. Your SoundCloud sign-in token is stored securely in your device's Keychain and never sent to external servers.
Can I play SoundCloud in the background or with the screen off?
Yes. Soundy supports background playback, lock-screen controls, Control Center transport controls, AirPlay, and continues playing when you switch apps.
Do I need a SoundCloud account to use Soundy?
Yes. Soundy requires a SoundCloud account because SoundCloud's API only allows authorized access to its catalog. Once signed in, you'll get full access to your Likes, Playlists, Following, Albums, Stations, listening history and personalized recommendations.
Don't have an account yet? Register for free at soundcloud.com/signup, then come back to Soundy and tap "Sign in with SoundCloud".
Does Soundy support AirPlay and CarPlay?
Soundy supports AirPlay out of the box, so you can stream to HomePod, Apple TV and AirPlay 2 speakers. CarPlay integration is on our roadmap.
How is Soundy different from the official SoundCloud app?
Soundy is a third-party SoundCloud client focused on three things the official app doesn't offer: a real 10-band parametric equalizer with iPod-style presets, a completely ad-free interface, and zero behavioral tracking.
