Assessing the Reliability of Gemini 2.5 Pro’s Audio Analysis

As someone navigating the complexities of auditory sensitivities, I have recently started using Gemini 2.5 Pro to identify specific sounds in music that I find uncomfortable, particularly related to crowd noise. This tool appears to be a potential game-changer for me, especially since my enjoyment of music has waned over the last decade due to sensitivity issues. In my teenage years, I often relied on friends and family to vet songs for me before I would consider giving them a listen.

So far, I’ve scanned three albums from the band Weezer. While I was informed that one of the tracks may be triggering, the other two were deemed safe for listening. However, I’m still feeling a bit apprehensive about diving into those latter two tracks. Could it be possible that Gemini was mistaken in its analysis? Initially, my research relied largely on articles and reviews, but I later decided to test the tool by providing direct links to the songs on YouTube for a more in-depth scan.

Upon receiving the YouTube links, Gemini indicated that it had completed an audio analysis. This begs the question: how reliable is this analysis? Is Gemini 2.5 Pro known for producing false negatives? Can this software truly deliver on its promise of accurately identifying sounds that might be overwhelming?

As I await further insights, I’m curious about the experiences of others. How does the community perceive the accuracy of Gemini 2.5 Pro? Have you found it to be a trustworthy ally in managing your music-listening experience? If you have tried this tool, I would love to hear your thoughts on its performance and reliability!
