SignalSuite looks like a nice program, but $40 !!? Ouch!

AudioEase used to offer the free Make A TestTone program for OS 9, but the
OS X version is now apparently $30. I have the OS 9 version (which should
work in OS X too) and its license says it is freely distributable. I would
be happy to send a copy to any interested parties. (It is non-realtime
only. The OS X version has many new features ...)

I know there are other GUI programs out there as well for Macs. But you can
also use any of the popular and free synthesis languages to create sine
tones of arbitrary precision (with or without enveloping to avoid clicks).
Free and cross-platform programs include:

Csound http://www.csounds.com
SuperCollider http://www.audiosynth.com/
Nyquist http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~music/nyquist/
CLM http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/clm/
etc.

Of course, each of these programs has a significant learning curve, but
producing sine waves in each is relatively simple.
