I don't have perfect pitch, but I have pitch memory. I can recall the sound of the A string of a guitar being plucked, then hum the note which matches what I "hear" in my head, whip out tuner app and see that I'm indeed at 110 Hz.

Do you get it on your first try?

Sometimes when I'm bored and microwaving something I'll try to match my hum to the microwave's tone and I sometimes do this when planes fly by too.

I never get it immediately but it usually syncs up after a few seconds.
