Music Tuned to 440 Hz Versus 432 Hz and the Health Effects: A Double-blind Cross-over Pilot Study
The current reference frequency for tuning musical instruments is 440 Hz. Some theorists and musicians claim that the 432 Hz tuning has better effects on the human body, but there are no scientific studies that support this hypothesis… until now! The subjects were more focused about listening to music and more generally satisfied after the sessions in which they listened to 432 Hz tuned music.

Music and the Heart
Music can powerfully evoke and modulate emotions and moods, along with changes in heart activity, blood pressure, and breathing. Recent findings also suggest music can reduce pain and anxiety.

Effects of music listening on anxiety and physiological responses in patients undergoing awake craniotomy.
This study concluded that music listening is associated with a decreased level of anxiety and distress. The findings also showed that the music intervention significantly reduced heartbeat rate 84.5 (p<.004), systolic pressure 42 (p<.001), and diastolic pressure 38 (p<.001) over time.

Performing music can induce greater modulation of emotion-related psychophysiological responses than listening to music.
The results confirmed that musical performance was far more effective in modulating emotion-related autonomic nerve activity than musical perception in musicians. The findings suggest the presence of a neural network of reward-emotion-associated autonomic nerve activity for musical performance that is independent of a neural network for musical perception.
