TikTok is gradually copying the best features offered by the tools that are within its reach. Now the Chinese social network has a feature similar to that of Shazam, SoundHound, among others. To discover a song you can’t remember the name of, just let the app listen to the song or sing to the app.
TikTok’s “Sound Search” tool identifies hummable songs
The company has been working on a new feature called “Sound Search,” which lets you find a song by singing it, humming it, or simply playing it. Since TikTok is a video-focused platform, the app will also show you popular videos with the song identified.
Interestingly, while TikTok told TechCrunch that the tool was created specifically to find music, it appears that it can also find some popular sounds and memes.
However, in our tests, we found that the tool was able to detect TikTok sounds/memes, such as the popular “Oh my gosh, she's bald. She's bald, and she's torturing people who have hair!” taken from an episode of 'Totally Spies' and the 'Nobody's gonna know' sound created by a TikTok user.

Where is this resource located?
It is feature is available when you tap the microphone icon in the Search tab from the TikTok app.
Unfortunately, the company says that Sound Search is currently only available to a small group of users. There are no details on which regions TikTok users already have access to Sound Search.
While Apple's Shazam isn't capable of identifying hummed songs (as SoundHound can), an update last year introduced the ability to identify songs played on apps like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
The TikTok app is available for free on the App Store and requires an iPhone or iPad with iOS 12 or later. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed to access the new features.
