A function generator generates various audio-frequency waveforms.
Usually sine, square, triangle, ramp and sometimes other "functions" as
well.

It is useful for testing all kinds of audio circuits.  For example, you
can test a phone transmitter by feeding a sine wave into the mic input.
Some function generators go up high enough in frequency to test IF
circuits as well.
