Usually listening to a pure A note through an oscillater signal grinds my head the fuck up, but this sounds strangely 'welcome', like, my ears dont mind that its initially there. Then again, listening to the whole thing does get a bit headachey..
-
@sonatherapy I can feel the vibrational euphoria. Thanks for putting this up Doctor spock!
-
@sonatherapy You are right, on another laptop it sounds exactly 432 Hz. Interesting...
-
The "DNA of the ear" can you explain this? How exactly have you been measuring the resonance of DNA and the resonance of ones pineal?
-
@SteveFalconer1 That's gtreat, Steve. So, your D should be around 288 Hz, right?

Tested my didgeridoo today and it sings a D when my vibrational tuner is set to 432.
I tune my steel string acoustic to A = 432 then tune the other strings off the A. I just love the resonate sound, so soothing :D
I hear 435 Hz here...

@MrMulegy It IS 432...according to our 3 decimal-place laboratory counter...and Adobe Audition that generated the tone. It is pulsing at infrasonic rates --- perhaps giving the aural illusion of being slightly higher (sinusoidal rises and falls). But, even the oscilloscope shows it to be spot on as a centered 432 Hertz.

I've been doing some basic exploration about the A 432 tuning and am still largely on the fence. I have discovered two things:
1. I like the way it sounds, but perhaps not enough to shun my favorite A 440 music
2. Most interestingly, on every analysis I've done of my singing voice (though none are conclusive) my sung A is not 220 but 215 or 216 hz. The 216 is obvious, but the 215 is closer to what I'd get in equal-tempered C 256. So basically I sing in that ballpark despite a lifetime of A 440.

@dmGuillotine Yes, 216 is, of course, the lower octave of 432. C = 256 Hz is the basic tuning system to obtain 432, 216, etc. No reason to "shun" music played/recorded in A = 440. The sounds have a tendecny to "gel" at best geometric formations, anyway. Still, 432 should be the better tuning to use in general...just more natural, fer sur.

@sonatherapy Why might it be--and this really puzzles me--that after growing up with nothing but A 440, and within less than half a year of even being aware A 432, I should find the formants of my voice to line up so nearly to A 432 / C 256 tuning? I had never analyzed my singing voice until recently, so I have no idea whether this has always been true or if there was an abrupt shift in my pitch memory. My perfect pitch has had recent problems also with this discrepancy. I find it all so odd.

@dmGuillotine Perfectly natural puzzle to contemplate. It has been stated that the DNA of the ear responds best to 432, and that the Pineal Gland resonates best at this frequency. Unquestionably, most opera music was composed/performed at lower tunings...to accomodate the voices of the singers. 440, historically, is a relatively recent tuning dating from WW II. Even "Perfect Pitch" is "relative," within the diatonic system. For example, I can tell you what a pitch IS...but not its exact tuning.
