One of the best tests is to take a tone generator and listen to A at 440 vs 432. The A tone at 432 sounds softer and a bit wider. The A at 440 sounds tighter and harsher. Don't base it on spiritual stuff, base it on what the sound physically feels and sounds like

[@keyboardtek]

I think that may be just your ears. Other than a difference in frequency, my brain does not associate those descriptive characteristics. But then I was an electronic keyboard repair tech for 38 years and listened to zillions of tones.

so I ran the numbers and tested myself.

Lower frequency means the strings are not as taut and therefore cooler for my purposes. Great video!

[@rafaelbrito9519]

Love how different the purpose of your videos are most of the time, it's what makes it unique and appealing to me.

[@jamesmills7255]

Definitely the best examination of this subject I have so far seen. Having pitch shifted a few of my favourite songs down to A=432Hz a while ago, to see how they sound compared with the original tuning, I must admit I do prefer some of them at the altered frequencies. However, this is because the slightly lower pitch can make the music sound less harsh on the ear and have a nicer tonality. Or, as you mentioned, perhaps there is just a placebo effect.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

I would recomended to you to seek what your ear feel the most pleasant! I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint

[@killerrosebudiscool]

I'd say it sounds a little darker of a tone. For example, horror movies should definitely use 432 hz tuning because it sounds to me like a natural minor

[@castle6660]

Unfortunately...lying about the test conditions mean this experiment is null and void. This wasn't even an experiment. Nothing was proven.. nothing was disproven.

[@veggimellom1872]

i agree. The higher tuning is more harsh for the ears. In a way that will tell us that the lower is more healing ^^ because of the straining on the ears with the higher. When we get old some of us looses the highest frequencies.

[@GoldenGunner111]

c:

[@MadMatty01]

You make it sound like standard procedure for drummers to tune their instrument by Hz, but it's really not. Even roughly tuning by notes is somewhat uncommon. Most people just tune to a pitch where the combination of shell and head sounds good and harmonizes with the rest of the kit.

[@1976oswald]

i work just with 432 hz now

[@NerismaStudios]

Thing is it's not standard procedure, but I personally like accuracy when I tune my drums. If I'm in a pinch though, I have quick-tuning methods that get my drums sounding good quickly without a lot of fuss. All it takes is knowing how the science of a drum-head works.

[@kbproweb]

Try going outside on a nice spring day and tune your guitar to the birds singing. I've done this about three or four times and always end up in the same range of frequencies. It has never come out in the range that would sync up with 440 but always falls in alignment, or in tune with 432. I've also done this with recorded whale sounds with the same result. I'm not totally sure what this means, but it's interesting.

[@kairs621]

lmao

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

Yes. Sounds of Nature herself! God definitely made the world the way it is. It's actually kind of scary the way certain types (both musician and non) get completely trigged and hostile at the idea of tuning to A-432 Scientifc Tuning. Yet tthey even use C-256 and A-432 tuning forks a the doctors office to test nerve responses and such. Again, God made things the way they are. The fact that there is such a dogmatic resistance to this is almost . . . Evil.

[@kbproweb]

I've had some people resist simply because they don't want the hassle of having to deal with changing the tuning they use to create music. They call it nonsense so they don't have to deal with it. It is a hassle if you're working with other musicians, so that's understandable, but to actually get angry about it? What's that all about?

[@keyboardtek]

How do you get a bird to hold an A432 pitch for you to tune to?

[@kbproweb]

​@@keyboardtek​That's funny, lol. I could think of several sarcastic responses, but will restrain myself. What you are trying to do is to get one string to harmonize with the dominant bird song. This might be difficult if you don't have a good ear, but anyone who is an experienced musician will likely understand. If you start with your guitar in 440 you will likely end up close to either 432 or 444, depending on if you tune up or down. What I did, in all three attempts, was detune flat, well below 440, and then tuned up one string until I felt it to be in harmony with the bird song. Each time it was in sink with 432 inside a 12 frequency range. For example, one time it came out at 420 which is in harmony with 432 and 444. You could end up at 412 or 456 or any variant of 12, but if you have the same results they will fall within those ranges. I never ended on any variant of 440. Hope that makes it clearer.

[@acousticknights9654]

If anyone's interested in this subject, or alternate tunings, I would suggest researching scientific tuning and the reasoning behind it. Also, regardless of tunings, there is a problem with experiments of this precise type that seem to be flooding KZbin. The problem is that the human ears adapt too readily to alternate tunings and which ever song is played next will either sound sharp or flat as a result of the expected measure. To truly test any merit to the 432 hz tuning, you would have to look at things completely differently. Sound amplification, wave visualizations, and how an instrument holds up to the strains of the different Hertz throughout time are just a few things to consider. Perceptions are subject to Placebo effects, as you mentioned. It's no wonder why you came into this experiment and left with the same biase, given the method of experimentation. I don't prescribe to any specific tuning, nor suggest that someone get stuck in one, but I hate the scienceless biases that everyone seems satisfied with. It's as one sided as someone offering nothing on why it's better and saying everyone should switch...which I've seen plenty of that as well. Bah, this world

[@RicardoAldana1988]

It´s called comfort zone and it has to do with the fact that we are used to some conceptions that it occurs that could it be missconceptions.. like what we hear and how we hear it! I would suggest 430 with a slidely turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint! there's also a theory which may has to be what you reffers.. it's called Scientific Pitch Tuning or Phytagorean-Phitagoric Tuning it can differ but not much.. they're pretty all the same base with differents apreciations.. approaches and aproximations to give pretty close results too!

[@castle6660]

Also to make an experiment of this kind legit.. he would have to actually play half of them in 432 and the other half in 440. Forcing people to choose between two categories.. while lying about the categories.. makes this experiment nonsense.. people were forced to choose between two...when in reality there were many different choices. This experiment was nonsensical and didn't prove nor disprove anything.

[@conorheduvan]

Adam Neely just uploaded a similar video on this subject.

[@lostinthought1331]

I feel like all these videos miss the point. It's not just downtuning by 8 Hz. It's that the ratios between frequencies are closer to whole number ratios. So it's really that the intervals between notes are closer to harmonious ratios described by Pythagoras. (eg A:D :: 432:288 is 1.5 (3:2) (432 tuning) whereas A:D :: 440:293.66 is 1.49833 (440 tuning)). So it's that these pythagorean ratios are thought to be harmonious and 432 tuning, when done correctly is closer to the whole number ratios for harmony that were described by Pythagoras (although he is credited with some of these ideas that actually originated in Mesopotamia.

[@Veepee92]

If you tune down from A=440 to A=432 without *adjusting the temperament*, you will never be any closer to any kind of good "harmonious ratios": The A major scale in A=432 will have the notes B=494.90 Hz, C#=544.87 Hz, D=576.61 Hz, E=647.27 Hz, F#=726.54 Hz and G#=815.51 Hz, since every note is some multiple of the square root of 12. Pythagorean tuning is not actually "harmonious" or well tuned either, since it creates really awkward intervals and ratios around pitch relationships. The 12-tone equal temperament achieves a reasonably OK approximation of a major triad with ratios of 4:5:6, but in Pythagorean tuning that same chord will be tuned to the ratios 64:81:192. I don't know about you, but the Pythagorean one doesn't look like very good ratios.

[@geoffharvard8722]

In high school, our band director had us tune to A=446Hz for a brighter sound.

[@kickinbackinOC]

During the course of any piece of music, we are not constantly playing an open A, so rarely does it's frequency "stand alone" anyhow. Instead, we are not only playing open A's, but also doing sharps and flats, chords, doing bends, harmonics and whatnot. So the 432 AND the 440 hz both fade into insignificance. What's more important, is the relation between the notes played, the rhythm, phrasing, repetition and variations. Just like our eyes and our sense of touch, we are always comparing levels of sensory input, drawing conclusions based on these comparisons. (Check out the cold water vs hot water hand trick, and optical illusions, which show we have no internal "absolute", but rather are constantly making comparisons as the basis of judgement of reality) So whether A is tuned to 432 or not has no bearing on our perception of music, and therefore most probably no bearing on how that music affects us.

[@jacquesstephens8330]

Pay attention to how you FEEL. Your ears are adjusted to 440hz so it will take some time for 432 to sound 'right'. But you should certainly feel calmer. 432hz is the frequency that creates the most significant symmetry and patterns in water and particles. Beethoven and indeed ALL music until the 1940/50s was tuned to 432hz. It was changed by governments and media institutions to do with orchestras, as 432 appears to fill the room, rather than being localised. After using a 432hz converter for a while, 440 will not only be the one to sound strange, but will make you feel more irritable. This is widely observed

I find myself straining way less in lower tunings and I feel like I can write a better melody if it's in a lower tuning. 🤙 great video and keep up the great work!

[@RicardoAldana1988]

That´s cuz your ear is sayin' to you where it´s a better point where sound and music it just feel right! I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint

[@jeffluke5514]

If a song was originally tuned at 440HZ it’s not surprising it doesn’t sound good at 432HZ. It would be interesting to hear a song originally written tuned at 432HZ play at 440HZ to see if it sounds better. Otherwise this doesn’t seem like an accurate way to test the theory. Maybe write an original songs tuned to each frequency and then play them tuned to the other, and compare that way. Just a thought.

[@VinicioHaner]

Now I know why I liked only the sound of "432hz" in the first example

[@Sebax]

Finally someone who aknowledged the fact that a second is such an arbitrary thing!

[@yvngpierre1063]

Spiritual So sent me here

[@AlexisGitarre]

haha, i heard the different tunings and thought "WTF?" this doesn't sound right. especially the second one stood out really clearly because of the bass sound. thanks for this great video!

[@virusladd]

I thought they all sounded off except for the jazzy one

[@timchalmers1700]

Best ever video on 432 vs 440. Best ever musical examples on 440 vs 432. And yeah, I liked all of the examples because the instruments were in tune with each other.

[@eduf93]

It's said that 432Hz is the frequency of human hearing, that's why It's said to be in harmony with the universe. Also, changing the frequency of a song will affect your brain activity, showing results of serenity in 432Hz, opposed to the more nervous and rushed approach you get from a higher frequency - 440Hz.

[@samuraiguitarist]

I'd be curious as to where you get your sources and what you mean by that. The range of human hearing is generally considered 20Hz-20kHz with the highest sensitivity around the 3kHz area (where a lot of the consonant sounds are).

[@eduf93]

I did not explain myself properly, what I meant to say was that we all hold a certain vibrational frequency, and our bodies are estimated to be about 70% water. It's factual that musical frequencies affect our own state of vibration, which is responsible for our own state of matter. Every expression through sound, emotion, or thought holds a frequency. That given frequency influences everything around it, much like a drop of water creating a larger ripple effect in a large body of water. Experimenting with these frequencies led people to the conclusion that music tuned in A=432 Hz is not only more beautiful and harmonious to the ears (This is what I tried to say, even if It's subjective), but it also induces a more inward experience that is felt inside the body, at the spine and heart (vibrational state closer to human body frequencies,). Music tuned in A=440 Hz offered a more outward and mental experience, and was felt at the side of the head and then projected outwards. Audiophiles have also stated that A=432 Hz music seems to be non-local and can fill an entire room, whereas A=440 Hz can be perceived as directional or linear in sound propagation. Resuming, our body accepts this frequency more naturally.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

one thing it's the range of frequencies that we can hear and another the frequencies that we are more reliable to get in tuning.. play or even hear in order to the sound and more so by his form and way of propagation by itself and the retaliation that can it cause frequencies not so reliable due to it's randomness and arbitrarily and deterministic standarization that can be rather than harmful!

[@RicardoAldana1988]

there are plenty of experiment in physic.. like chladni plates.. tonoscope and specific area like cymatics and other kind of studies of wave phenomena.. vibration and sound that may suggest for the results that are certain kind of frequencies that works in a diferently way in a non-arbitrarily arrengement that can be observe by geometric forms and patterns inherent to the wave sound and explain it in math by the harmonic analysis of forma and the superpoition of basic waves into chart of various waveforms that thrown results that are linked to number or representation theory (128-432 array of number in a scale or harmonic series of number.. 9 matrix number.. harmonic series.. pitagorean scale).. theory of groups (projective geometry.. euclidian geometry..) signal processing (for numerical analysis.. genomic and time-frequency analisys.. continous-time and non-linear signal processing.. reverberation for pshycoacoustics).. quantum mechanics (from string theory to wave function eigenvalue and in general the whole subject by his singularity that made it apliable from the mechanics itself to the math and biology or chemistry).. the tidal analysis to explain and correlates the behaviour of the spheres.. big masses of water and all organic tides to a general relativeness that it can correlate to the neuroscience and the human nature and behaviour .. it seems pretty obviuos that we can just simply study facts and data by separate like the classical science do and make rational statements but in fact that's too obvious and that's not science works and have been evolved ince the earth isn't flat and irrational staments made new conjectures that are finally prove time to time..

[@ptsdjoe4956]

Ricardo Aldana What the hell did you just try to say?!!!

[@DevastatingDave]

In my experience I prefer 432Hz in a lot of cases. It seems to have a clearer resonance. I've converted some of Meshuggahs albums (which are very low end heavy) to 432Hz, and they sound much clearer, cleaner and punchier when I'm blasting them at high volume in my car or headphones. There doesn't have to be any conspiracy behind it, it just sounds better in some cases. I've uploaded one of those albums to my channel if anyone would like to check it out.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

It's sound better bro! I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint to the scientific or phytagorean tuning system..

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

Six years since you replied, but I wanted to mention, Ive made some intriguing discoveries on the subject that you may want to check out. _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ @@RicardoAldana1988

[@yummyjackalmeat]

I agree. It's just BS. I do just like tuning lower. If someone plays at A415hz I feel EVEN MORE drawn to that. There isn't anything special about 415, or 410, 432, or 442, or 440. People try to prove why something is "good" when all they need to say is "I like it because I just like it." 15 or so years ago people were freaking out because orchestras were starting to tune to 442. It's all kinda dumb to me and a way to avoid taking responsibility for your own music and your own opinions.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

It´s called comfort zone and it has to do with the fact that we are used to some conceptions that it occurs that could it be missconceptions.. like what we hear and how we hear it! I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint

[@jacksonpriest2033]

Ricardo Aldana you said the exact same thing on another comment

[@edilbertolopez9514]

yummyjackalmeat its making others difficult for others to imitate yourcomposition. if theresva note in between mi and fa ti and do ill use it and people whovaccidentally like my musicwill be in a quandary on how to play it. just wait til I can invent a microphone that can make my voice into blended four voices automatically

[@CedsBritishBrass34]

415. Baroque tuning XD

[@FFVison]

Not to mention that if you are moving, you will experience variations in pitch due to the Doppler effect and even if you could account for those, you also have variations in movement which alters how you experience time itself as per the theory of relativity. Then, I also heard an episode of Science Friday on NPR that featured a talk about "leap seconds" and how they would add or even subtract seconds to the correct official time. The fact of the matter is that just playing an instrument, your instruments will go out of tune periodically and no one will notice. Just enjoy the music.

[@h.i.mcdunnough9421]

Thank god people are starting to cover this topic. A few months ago I had to dig to find someone being honest about this "Philosopher's tuning". It all comes down to personal taste, vocal strain (as you mentioned), and the fact that we respond to reference points in music such as intervals or side by side tuning comparisons. On that note I love that you lied about the real tunings! I had no idea the first was above 440! Most people are not able to tell either so this deception really proved your point!

[@ptsdjoe4956]

Jeff Stack I'm not sure if you make any sense at all. It's fact that most people love sugar and sugary things... But it's DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR OUR BODIES!!! Capiche? Do some brainiac work if you're gonna try to sound "brainy". Please, for the love of GOD!!! RESEARCH BEFORE OPINING ON ANYTHING!!!

[@Beehj84]

The first video of yours I've seen, and a heck of a welcome. Fascinating, conclusive, and well done all around. Subbed.

[@niconico4138]

I was not completely sure about this A = 432Hz thing, so I just tuned half of my strings to 440Hz and the other half to 432Hz. Now my music is resonating with the universe AND my neighbours in whole new ways!

[@Bikeadelic]

This is only one version of the story and its the most reduc one. There is another much more compelling and provable. Ultimately you need to hear the comparison between 440 and 432 while tripping balls.

[@Петър-ю8и]

I definitely could tell that dropping hz saund better. Recently I listen to classical music. It's passed over 2 months but overall I feel more inspired and energized to do daily tasks. Not to mention that I got more and more moments to feel "in the moment", which is a blessing these days.

[@Dustiliciousz]

Don't know bout everyone else, but I certainly heard that the frequencies changed drastically per song. Not better or worse, just obvious to my ear. Having said, that loved the clip! And what an impressive collection of instruments you have. Will subscribe

[@FantomMC2]

Both tuning sounds good. All tuning is amazing and interesting.

[@RenVasTerul]

Well one thing I know for sure - instruments tuned to 432 are in fact, in tune with nature sounds (animals etc). I once made myself a bugarian kaval (flute) tuned to 432 and I can play along with singing birds. And well, they even respond sometimes, when I try to mimic them. So yeah.

[@davidkeeth5968]

I did think the tuning wasnt rite but i didnt notice it was jumping around still i thpught the lower tuning sounded higher on some parts it did make a difference but im not sure its enough to worry about unless its for a specific song or groove well done thanks for the show !!!

[@K0r0n1s]

Did you also change tuning on the drums accordingly? :-P

[@schmollischolle2641]

K0r0n1s i asked that now top before i read you're comment. I don't think so either. But I can't blame hin if he didn't because that takes a lot of time.

[@cptnoremac]

*your

[@isaacmaxwell5082]

If he did not, it is not a full 432 experiment.

[@JohnMutch]

Thanks for taking the time to explore this idea.

[@TytoMobile]

The lower tunings just sounded like a slow record player, having been played after the higher ones.

[@whatshappening177]

I am one of those guys that can pick up something just by watching and playing along. I can just understand the dynamics and frequency by feel. I'm always out of tune to a 440 standard by a few cents. I would listen to music at a comfortable volume with headphones with my eyes closed and just drift away. I get so angry when I try and share a piece of music with someone and they talk through it. Not outwardly, just inside, like why can't you just stop for one second and .................Well people are people and will always be people. That is one of the mysteries of life. Just like how someone freaks out over spilt milk as they say. You must learn self control at a young age.

[@Rendydany]

this is advanced. sometimes I record my guitar and bass parts few semitone or even one note higher. then shift the pitch down to normal in the mixing to get more full sound, but this is an irrelevant topic I guess

[@noseloquedigo92514]

well, the beatles did that in strawberry fields forever, and they've got an amazing result.

[@Chadosaaan]

Excellent video. Very well thought out.

[@jonnysophisticado]

I like 432, just vibes nicely to my taste. For me it was definitely like what samurai said as far as perking up your ear to something new. I played 440 for over twenty years and switching to 432 was like a breath of fresh air, but so are alternate tunings

[@mintee8638]

After he said he lied about the numbers and that they had more variety, I was interested in comparing the two for each of the 4 examples: My ratings: (1) [1st playing] 448 > 440, (2) [1st playing] 426 > 420, (3) [1st playing] 432 > 426, (4) [2nd playing] 432 > 440. One interesting note from here is that in lowering the hz for the first 3 examples, I rated as slightly/subtly worse. It was the 4th example in lowering to 432 that I gave a ‘subtly better’ comment. I say this because I’ve heard many commenters say lowering the hz makes things sound more relaxing (‘warm’). Based on my results, I would have to disagree. If anyone is interested in doing the same experiment in saying which of the 2 is better and then posting your results here, feel free to do that. I would be interested in whether you get the same results that I did. Here is my attempt to rate the 5 frequencies: 432- 5/5, in the 3rd example, the rock music made it not sound as good, though it sounded better than the 426, which sounded good in the 2nd example 426- 4/5 448- 3.5/5, ok but meh 420- 3/5 440- 1/5, subtly ‘bad’, sadder (hard for me to tell in 4th example that it’s that much worse than 432, though the timbre felt the most quiet and mellow of the 4 examples)

You tuned your soul to 432 and you became an idiot of entire universe!

[@RBBlackstone]

String tone gets warmer if you lower the pitch (string tension). That is why Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan have such distinctive tone. They both tune down a half step. Kind like A415.
