I do know that RUDE has taken on a new meaning in the last 25 years or maybe longer. I have never seen such utterly disregard for others than is going on today. And aggression is more severe. I have linked it to obama .. that he gave the green light if the color of your skin is black/brown, you can throw any kind of fit you so desire... you can riot and you can shoot anyone who tries to stop you from robbing a store.

But what does that really have to do with A440? For one thing, you may want to look up and research correlation vs causation.

For another, Horowitz is a nutter and a con man who peddles his “cures” on the worldwideinterwebs.

As for his “theory” on A440:

According to Horowitz, A=440Hz conflicts with human chakras from the heart to the base of the spine, while chakras above the heart are stimulated, e.g., the ego and left-brain functions, which suppresses the "heart-mind intuition" and creative inspiration. I don't know if it was bad vibrations or too much OxySilver at 528Hz, but something significant seems to have suppressed Horowitz's crap detector and stimulated the destruction of important synapses among his brain cells.

So whether I’m listening to a symphony or a rock band that uses the A=440hz, it’s messing with my “chakras”. Yea, “my chakras”. /s

And:

"The world began when the Creator's word acted on water, that is sound frequencies based on physics and mathematics were applied to water." This genius has now found a way to bring heaven to Earth with his "Water Resonator," which "displays the precise sound frequencies of universal creation to restore nature's resonance energy and electromagnetic purity of water." And what is it? It's a sticker that you apply to a jug of water. Of course, you can also apply it to acupuncture points for an "energetic blessing." Hallelujah!*

Yes, not applying the “Water Resonator” is making me sick. /s

But getting back to A=440hz, the fact is that some European orchestras still tune to A=432, Germany is one and still today some baroque and ancient musical groups tune at a lower pitch although not necessarily at A=435hz or even A=432. And some rock bands, notably The Who and Guns and Roses, probably others, have tuned differently and at a lower pitch. There was also a reason that string instruments were eventually tuned to the higher frequency, as when the instruments themselves and the strings improved and both were less susceptible to environmental changes like temperature and humidity, the (slightly) higher pitch made the string instruments resonate better and therefore sound clearer.

It should also be noted that most humans cannot tell the different between A440hz and A335hz. Even people with so called “perfect pitch” often can’t tell when listening to two distinct pieces of music – which is in A440 or A435 or A432. And there is no scientific evidence that one musical pitch has any effect on health, mental or physical and is more often more a matter of preference of the musician.

This guy’s video does a pretty good job of demonstrating the difference between A=432 and A=440.

As to “perfect pitch”, when I was a kid starting in the 4th grad and through HS, I took violin lessons. As a 4th grader, my music teach would tune my violin for me but when I’d be home and practicing and in transit, it would eventually get out of tune, so I would tune it myself based on A=440.

One time my violin teacher accused me of not having practiced since my violin was still perfectly in tune since our last lesson.

When I told him I tuned it myself by ear as I didn’t have a pitch pipe or tuning fork or piano at home, he didn’t believe me at first. So he un-tuned it and asked me to demonstrate for him how I tuned it.

So I did. I by ear tuned the A string first and then the others based on it. It wasn’t 100% technically perfect but close enough, so close that my teacher was bowled over how I could do that by ear alone and suggested I had perfect pitch. I didn’t know how I did it either except for perhaps I had memorized what A sounded like.

Too bad that I was much better at tuning my violin than I was a playing it. LOL! I wasn’t horrible but I was never going to have a career as a violinist no matter how hard I practiced.

FWIW, I can’t sing my way out of wet paper bag but know it, but I can tell when a singer is even slightly off key. It drives me crazy especially in live performances.

It has to do with ...
When in my research all this came up and likened it to giving individuals depression and aggression via the frequency of the music being broadcast. I wondered if anyone ever heard of frequency changes having any effects and being that rude might qualify.. period.

That last comment was to you.. doing this on my phone doesn’t work as well.

I think the idea is that tuning an instrument so that A=432 Hz makes the instrument in tune and in harmony with the natural universe.

Many bands tune their instruments down a half step or whole step, Van Halen for example, but this only changes where the A note is played on their instruments, but that A note is measured at 440 Hz.

Detuning a half or whole step often has to do with the vocal range of the singer or maybe they just like their music or that song that way or whatever. Changing the key doesn’t change the standard reference.

On the other hand, if their instruments were detuned such that A=432, not 440, then their tuning is no longer referenced to standard tuning, A=440, which which according to theory is itself out of tune with creation.

That’s the theory, anyway. However, given when the standard was changed, and given the century that followed was the century of 3 world wars, 2 hot, 1 cold, I am willing to consider it.

Imagine how irritating it would be if a few instruments in the band were tuned A=440, but the rest of the band was tuned A=432. No matter how great the music or how well it was played, it would be wrong and annoying to listen to.

According to what I’ve read, our ways are not His Ways and modern Western society post 19th century’s music and works have become increasingly wrong, deluded and annoying to the Creator in a greatly accelerated pace. Coicidence? I think not. I think it’s just more of our being manipulated into rebellion, same as always, and the end of the times delusion that the Scriptures speak of.

Sound rules over/manipulates matter. We speak of the “Big Bang” that began the world.
Scriptures say that first there was the Word and from the Word came all of creation.

I note the power of sound seeing both how destructive low and disharmonic frequencies are and how soothing, inspiring and creative higher harmonizing frequencies are on both physical matter and on emotion, so I’m open-minded and I believe in the possibilities and power of sound.

A = 432.
