I know there is a conspiracy theory thread, but this was so hilarious I thought it deserved its own.
According to this writer:
Okay so because the Schumann resonance is roughly 8 hz, when you multiply it by 54 you get 432hz, which is slightly lower than the widely adopted standard, A440. HZ just means cycles per second, measuring sound waves and electricomagnetic waves are completely different things. Lots of things are measured in hz that are completely unrelated to each other. Not like logic matters so this guy... Continuing where we left off.
Again, electrical activity in the is brain measured in Hz, which means cycles per second. Just because they're both measured is hz doesn't mean they're inherently related. The correlation between certain brain waves and the frequency of a slightly flat A note doesn't mean that they will have some magical effects on our personality. If you want to "synchronize" your brain, it would actually be better just to listen to music since listening to music engages more parts of your brain than just a sine wave, but if you enjoy listening to a 432hz sine wave, that's fine.
but it gets better.
No they don't. In extreme causes, giant electromaginets can be used to effect parts of the brain and we can study the effects, but the various kinds of EM/Radio/Microwave radiation that permeates our lives passes though the body without really interacting with it at all. The kinds of radiation that comes from uranium and cell phones aren't even comparable.
that's not even mentioning the fact that they don't have a single citation for any of the claims they make.
No. Just no.
okay, even though they don't cite their claim (like anything else), I'll give it to them. Even at that, just because certain ancient cultures had a preference for a slightly lower pitch for their instruments, doesn't even come close to proving their point.
I thought you said it was tuned to 8hz? Just because 8 is a factor of 432 doesn't make them the same number
but it gets even better.
I don't even... At this point even this writer adds the caveat "While this is certainly an interesting theory, there is no evidence to support this".
finally
Its possible that 432hz might feel more "natural" to the human ear because of its lightly lower pitch, the lower pitch might give a more relaxed feeling than standard 440. However one would have to be listening to most music at 440, for there to even be a contrast with 432. So you could also say that if the standard pitch was 432, we could now be talking about the 424hz conspiracy theory. Since to people accustomed to 432 would find the slightly lower 424 to feel more relaxed.
