Systems and methods for identifying a media asset from an ambiguous audio indicator

A system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• receive an audio recording;
• identify, from the audio recording, a tune by extracting a signal from the audio recording;
• generate a frequency domain representation of the tune by transforming the signal into at least one numerical value;
• input/output (I/O) circuitry configured to:
• transmit, to a music database, a query based at least in part on the frequency domain representation of the tune as the at least one numerical value wherein the music database comprises a plurality of media assets;
• and
• receive a set of similarity metrics for a set of media assets from the plurality of media assets based at least in part on comparing the frequency domain representation of the tune to respective frequency domain representations of the set of media assets;
• and
• wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
• based at least in part on each respective similarity metric of the set of respective similarity metrics being greater than a similarity threshold, cause to be displayed a recommendation for the set of media assets.
