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

In my quest for a more enjoyable listening experience, I recently began using Gemini 2.5 Pro to scan music for specific sounds I find uncomfortable, particularly crowd noise. For nearly a decade, my severe auditory sensitivities have made it difficult for me to appreciate music. In my teenage years, I relied heavily on friends and family to vet songs for me before I could consider giving them a listen.

Now, with Gemini 2.5 Pro, I’m hopeful for a transformative experience. I’ve started by scanning three tracks from Weezer, which has yielded mixed results. I learned that one of the songs triggered my sensitivities, while the other two seemed okay. However, I have reservations about diving into those two tracks, worried that the software might provide misleading results.

Initially, my exploration of audio analysis was limited to reading articles and reviews, not delving into actual audio evaluations. It wasn’t until I submitted individual YouTube links to the software that it performed a detailed audio analysis. This raises some important questions about the reliability of its findings.

How accurate is Gemini 2.5 Pro in its assessments? Is it prone to delivering false negatives, potentially leading to unexpected discomfort? Furthermore, can it genuinely deliver on its promise to enhance audio experiences for those with sensitivities?

As I continue to navigate my relationship with music, the efficacy of tools like Gemini 2.5 Pro is crucial for providing a nuanced understanding of sound. I look forward to sharing more insights as I delve deeper into my auditory explorations. If you’re also considering using audio-analysis software, it may be worthwhile to reflect on these questions and perform thorough due diligence before diving in.
