The Higher Intelligence which created us shows patterns throughout the universe.
Mathematics is one of the means to understand and model the creations of that Being. The
Golden ratio exists in various day to day things which we are not aware of fromtheplants
that we see, design of automobiles that we use to the humans we meet. It is not strange for
onetoclaimthatMathematicsexistsinMusic.Musicmadeofpitchesandrhythmicpatterns.

When two or more notes are played together

patterns are called major chords. They are
made up of the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of the
scale. For instance, a C chord is made up of
C(1st note), E(3rd note), and G(5th note). On
observation we can see numbers Fibonacci
series showing up in the rudiments of music
(1,3,5,8,13).

A seashell, which is designed in accordance with Golden Ratio, resonates the sound
[2]
of human blood and makes it sound like holding ocean in palms.
Evenincaseofdesignof
musical instruments, the manufacturers follow Golden Ratio forbetterresonance.Thebelow
diagramsareselfexplanatory.

The present standard tuning of instruments is A4=440 Hz that is the note

corresponding to theC4shouldbetuned tothe pitch C=261Hz.
Therearemanyconspiracy
theories that say that the musicians of the World War II period were forced by certain
superpowers to use 440 Hz so as to manipulate the minds of the public. This could be a

Previously
many composers, like Mozart and Verdi used to compose in the
frequency A4=432 Hz(also known as C4=256 Hz). When A4 note is tuned to 432 Hz the
magic starts to happen. TheCnotescome
in exact exponents of 2(C3=128 Hz,
C4=256 Hz). These vibrations produce
interesting and complexpatternsinwater.
It is hence believed that the frequency
432 Hz is closely aligned with the
Universe. Music played in that frequency
activates the right andlefthemispheresof
the brain. The Energy points or Chakras
are said to be activatedbythatfrequency.
Even some ancient tribes have used

Researchers tried working on the study of vibrations under 432Hz. They concluded,
432 Hertz pops out as a triangle, every time we image it. We thought there was something
wrong with the CymaScope but after trying for more than an hour we concluded that the
number 3 was somehow universally connected to432Hertz...WhenA istunedto432Hzthe

Conclusion:
Ever since I came across this phenomenon, being a musician, I tune my Classical
Guitar to A=432 Hz for the past 3 years. In my observation, many of my friends have
appreciated the rich tone of my guitar. According to theirclaims,themusicismoresoothing
and helps them to relax. It has given me a realization that there are many secrets to this
universe which can be understood only in terms of energy, frequency, vibration, and
mathematics.
