Measurement of audio signal plays a significant role in many applications, such as gravitational wave detection, bio-particle imaging and magnetometer. In this paper, low-frequency squeezed light is generated by a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier. In order to avoid the effect of injected light on low-frequency squeezing, an auxiliary laser is used to lock the length of non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier and a method of locking quantum noise is employed to lock the phase between the local light and the squeezed light. By isolating the vibration noises at low-frequency and reducing back action of parasitic interference, the squeezing of (7.1±0.1) dB takes place at 19 kHz. Then the squeezed light is injected into the Mach-Zehnder interferometer to measure an audio signal which drives a piezoelectric transducer to generate a small phase variation between two arms of Mach-Zehnder interferometer. According to the low-frequency squeezing, we realize experimentally the measurement of phase signal at audio frequency which exceeds the shot-noise limit of (3.0±0.4) dB. The experiment provides technical supports for the generation of low-frequency squeezed light and the measurement of audio signal. Furthermore it can be extended to other quantum measurements, such as high-precision magnetometer and measurement of small-displacement.
