[ELI5] How do "Song Identifying" Apps like SoundHound work?
gpt
The application secretly opens up a phone connection to a low wage country where there is a dedicated team of people working to identify the song as fast as possible and send back the title and artist to you.

Answer for a 6 year old: Muziek consists of sounds on different frequencies combined with different volumes (amplitudes), your phone records a bit of what it hears and the server on the other side compares these patterns to patterns of music that they have analysed before as far as i know.
