You’ll be the judge of that432hz music is well known to increase well-being, is often said to sound better, be more harmonic, and have transcendental powers.

Experts contacted by Reuters agreed that the meme presents claims that lack evidence as well as historical inaccuracies.
Susan Rogers, Professor of Music Production and Engineering at Berklee College of Music ( here ) told Reuters that “there is no empirical research suggesting that the universe has a preferred acoustic frequency.”
Coincidentally, Ian Cross, professor and director of the Centre for Music and Sciences at the University of Cambridge ( here ) told Reuters that the claims have “no empirical basis.”
Prince Charles Alexander, also a Professor of Music Production and Engineering at Berklee College of Music ( here ), said that “most listeners’ sensibilities are not fine tuned enough to discern the difference [between A=432Hz and A=440Hz].”
You’ll be the judge of that
You guys just suck the joy out of everything.

I can't hear the difference, at least without a reference. If I listened to the 440Hz original on Monday and 432Hz on Tuesday, I'd never notice.Is there anything in it, or just more BS?

Everyone should stick to GMT (Greenwich music tuning).Rick says A = 440 was decided in London, so it's the British fault as usual...

Someone with Perfect Pitch MIGHT hear the difference or they might not. "Perfect pitch" (AKA absolute pitch) simply means they can identify the note and if you played a 441Hz tone they would identify it as "A". If there is another note or instrument playing 440Hz, you might notice that "something is out-of-tune". With 432 and 404Hz at the same time it would definitely sound "off".
