432 Hz vs 440 Hz

Frequency battle 432 Hz vs 440 Hz

[rajinfootonchuriquen]

You feel negative emotions when you first compare 432 Hz vs 440 Hz because when your ear get confortable with 432, 440 music sound in the wrong pitch. It's like when you traspose music one semitone higher. And also thats why composers use cromatic aproach when they want to produce tension.

Try listening to 432 vs 424. The lower one always sounds better, because the lower the sound, the warmer the sound. Don't be deceived.

I listen to music in 432hz when driving to and from work, keeps me calm and stress free. I listen to 440hz when lifting weights, makes me feel aggressive and gives a energy boost!

be careful with the emotional/hearing distortion in our perception when you listen to 2 pieces of music in different keys (tuning as well) sequentially, you will always here the first one as the correct one unless you modulate correctly between them. between listening to the 2 tunings try to disconnect from the one you herd previously either by meditating, distracting yourself or listening to another music from another source, so you listen to the second tuning with "fresh ears" and the previous tonal center doesn't influence your perception.

You could hear the richness in the 432Hz. And, yes I felt that chest pressure thing on the 440Hz. Almost as if that frequency triggers my body to feel 'some type of way'(down in my feelings)

432 Hz relaxes me, 440 Hz makes me anxious.

XXXTENTACION was right, woke rapper love him RIP Jah

440 frequency is like a nightmare where you're running away from someone and something scary is coming after you, or its so intense its a life and death situation. 432 is like being in a waterfall ppool crystal blue waters, relaxation!

[nikkinorman]

My dog was staring at my phone intensely when 440 hz was playing, and once 432 started to play he relaxed and fell asleep again.. That alone tells me all that I need to know about these frequencies... I felt harmonious listening to 432 hz rather than feeling nauseated and broken listening to 440 hz.

[Hendrik]

I don't feel scared or disturbed at all listening to the 440hz stuff. It sounds just as nice as the 432hz to me - just different.

[neokamran]

432 feels like you are in an open area rather 440 felt like your in closed room

[kriscarrdublr]

Its crazy to see that 432 made me feel at peace and even breathing deeper but 440 gave me anxiety. This is blowing my mind.

[BabyWavv]

WTF when 432 came on I felt angelic as soon as 440 came on I felt as if someone was watching me

[XolisykeswifeX]

You have to listen with headphones for this one. 432 definitely makes me feel more as ease rather than 440, which makes me feel abrasive.

[anaislekapene]

440hz makes my chest heavy anyone else

Johann Heinrich Scheibler recommended A440 as a standard in 1834 after inventing the "tonometer" to measure pitch, and it was approved by the German Natural History Society the same year. The American music industry reached an informal standard of 440 Hz in 1926, and some began using it in instrument manufacturing. In 1936 the American Standards Association recommended that the A above middle C be tuned to 440 Hz. This standard was taken up by the International Organization for Standardization in 1955 (reaffirmed by them in 1975) as ISO 16.

432 Hz reminds me of 50’s and 60’s music. Relaxed and happy.

They set A440 tuning in the 1930's. What makes 440 hz ill isn't 440 itself as a tone but the mixing of that frequency with equal temperament, which is 12√2. This makes for a ratio of 1.05946 between each note moving up the 12 notes of the octave. 1.05946 is a chaotic decimal number, not an audibly even ratio like 1.5 (3/2) or (4/3) is. Justonic uses sensible ratios to hop between notes, 2/1, 3/2, 4/3, 5/4, 6/5ths etc. If you tune to A440 in justonic tuning then the C note lands exactly on 528 hz. 528/440= 6/5ths ratio (1.2). In other words, 6 divided by 5= 1.2 and if you multiply 440 by 1.2 to get another harmonic you land on 528. It all depends on the intonation or temperament more so than what A is tuned to if that makes sense. A440 in equal temp (standard temp, dissonance) is definitely anxiety producing and even headache producing when you've heard truly harmonic music. I'd say 440 is the worst mix with the standard temp and they did that on purpose, because it resonates right around the ark of the covenant frequency and the 110 hz octave right-brain activation frequency but in a disharmonic relationship causing dissonance to cloud the right brain and ark of the covenant frequency with that orderless 1.05946 ratio leap relationship between each note.

It would help if the guitar was really well tuned. In both pitches my first reaction is: Take a bit more time and attention to tune the instrument.

I feel like sum unconscious bias is going on idk
