Evaluating the Trustworthiness of Gemini 2.5 Pro’s Music Audio Analysis

As a passionate music lover grappling with auditory sensitivities, I recently began using Gemini 2.5 Pro to scan albums for specific sounds that I find uncomfortable—primarily related to crowd noise. This tool has been a potential game changer for me, especially considering that I haven’t genuinely enjoyed music for nearly a decade due to these sensitivities. In the past, I relied on friends or family to preview songs before I would even consider listening to them myself.

So far, I’ve tested this software with three Weezer albums. One of the tracks flagged for triggering sounds proved to be accurate. However, I am hesitant about the other two tracks that Gemini deemed safe for listening. My concern stems from wondering whether the application may occasionally provide false assessments—a scenario I refer to as “hallucinating.”

Initially, my understanding of the software’s capabilities was based solely on articles and user reviews rather than direct audio analysis. After inputting the YouTube links for individual songs, Gemini claimed to have analyzed the audio effectively. This leads me to ponder: How reliable is Gemini 2.5 Pro’s analysis really? Is it prone to producing false negatives, and does it genuinely deliver on its promises?

In this exploration, I’ll dive deeper into the functionality and reliability of Gemini 2.5 Pro, aiming to discern the actual effectiveness of its audio-analysis feature. For anyone considering similar tools to manage auditory sensitivities, my findings may help illuminate their potential. Join me on this investigative journey as we uncover the true capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Pro.
