I personally think that 1 Hz would be the best tuning, as the universe is one.

I hear Snoop Dogg tunes all his gear to 420.

This year is bissextile, different tuning?

This year is bissextile, different tuning?
Frequency of rotating Earth around Sun is static. So no need to change tuning.
bissextile year - every fourth year in which February is one day longer than usual. This extra day was introduced in order to compensate for the discrepancy between the movement of the Sun and the calendar.
Youâre not trolling, are you.
Joke. 1 frequency, just one note with related octaves then?
Btw for me the most important is relative tuning. Equal tempered scale is wrong, but I can deal with it. I can tune my 12 strings guitar without a tuner, tuned to other musicians gear, but I prefer to have one 440 hz reference tuner, because my ear is not tempered.

Heresy!
Some Japanese Intruments are naturally tuned to 432, listen to Tim heckerâs most recent albums âkonoyoâ and âanoyoâ. He brought his synths in to jam with the ensemble and they sounded like dog shit. Had to tune them down to match. Interesting interview about it, check out his music as well if you havenât. Very forward thinking stuff In my opinion

Thatâs a nice interview! He doesnât say anything about mystical properties of 432hz though. Just that some of his pieces sounded better pitched down closer to 430hz to match the traditional instruments, but also that some sounded better at their original tuning of 440hz.
What more proof do you need? You can demonstrate cytopathic effect Of influenza A and B at a microscopic level with plaque assays. You can demonstrate at a macroscopic level that the influenza virus is infectious to humans and causes respiratory illness using controlled human infection studies (see this review article for more info https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6489464/#!po=0.588235). Not to mention the countless epidemiological studies showing the interesting dynamics of influenza seasonality at a population level. Many of these include actual sequencing of the whole virus genome (see https://www.gisaid.org/ if interested. Itâs pretty cool). As I say not really sure what more proof you need, but happy to give references if you like.
Some accepted dogmas in medicine are highly likely, but yet to be conclusively proven. I donât think infectivity/pathogenicity of influenza virus is one of them.

I get what you are saying, but I guess Iâm saying that this is something that has been conclusively proven. There are many things that arenât, in medicine and otherwise.
I personally donât buy into any of the theories of the mystical properties of one frequency over another, but if it sounds good to you, and it doesnât hurt anyone, then do whatever feels right

HahahahahahahhahahahâŚscientific proof of the effects of music in general is a pretty weird concept. Like the scientific proof of how art makes you feelâŚscience has no place dabbling in things it cant measure or come close to understandingâŚscience should know its place and get back on the right side of the brain where it belongsâŚ

Yeah, itâs science, but there are several things to critique.
n=33, non-randomised, non-controlled
In fairness, they do say its a pilot study, but I donât think there is much to be gleaned from something so small.
n=33 is the kind of study size you would use for evaluating a brand new medicinal product for harmful effects (phase 1), not to evaluate the health properties of music. Youâd probably need population level epidemiological studies for that!
Also many questions with the article that canât be addressed without seeing the full thing (assuming the detail is in there, which it might not be) but sadly itâd behind a paywall. Including, but not limited to:
- How were the outcomes measured?
- Did they all listen to one tuning on one day and then the other on the next (eg. 440hz first and 432 hz second? (risk of introducing bias)
- What were the tests for statistical comparison used and were they appropriate?
âŚetc, etc.
Would be interesting/cool if music could modulate physiology directly, but I remain highly sceptical. Now maybe indirectly through modulating emotional state, but I would have thought that would be more to do with the musical style/context than the frequencies used. As always, happy to be proven wrong!

and that science would have found the same effects in all likelihood if the same test was conducted for
441 and 433
or 439 and 431
or
439.52 and 433.14159265359
itâs a testament to the effects of frequency to perception - it has zero to do with any explanation for why 432 has been spuriously singled out and justified with nonsensical propositions
itâs beyond absurd to construct a connection between arbitrary unconnected phenomena
the issue isnât whether 432Hz tuning is pleasing or more pleasing than another itâs about the objectively ridiculous notions dreamt up to justify it
for my sanity i shall be heading here soon - itâs too easy to be triggered by all this cosmic silliness

I should think that for most anyone on this forum it would be fairly trivial to conduct your own experiments, and decide if you prefer 432 over 440.
I donât buy into all the 432 mystical hyperbole, but I do understand that sound can have affects on mental and physical states, science can demonstrably prove this.
So I donât see any harm in experimenting for yourself if you find it interesting, it isnât like it is difficult to come to your own conclusion.
As a larger subject I do find the effects of sound and music fascinating as most people probably do.
