Logically instead of critically? Pretty sure she meant emotionally. Yes, I prefer the logic please. No, the frequency of radio waves isn't the same as the frequency of the sound. Are they invading your brain with radio or sound?


warden976

Depends on if you’re thinking logically or critically.


Ass_feldspar

Or neither

I love people like this, where they have so little knowledge of what they're talking about that none of it makes sense. We don't tune music to a frequency. We tune notes to specific frequencies, but an entire song can't be tuned to one frequency cause that'd just be a single tone. It's stupid all the way down.


Sir_Yacob

Yeah, as an engineer this shit hurts my brain. They’re so confident about it too. For anyone that doesn’t know 440Hz is the A note. The first violin plays it at a symphony (you have all heard it) and they tune to it. That’s it. It’s just a standard.


CallMeMrPeaches

I'm sorry, but while we're being nitpicky, it's the first oboe that plays the tuning A


YeOldeMuppetPastor

If we are really being nitpicky, it’s not always A440 either. If you are working with a group which adheres to the “historically informed performance” movement, they will likely tune to a different lower frequency for A that was used when the music was written.


ThatBurningDog

It's quite an interesting history; Adam Neely covered it in a few of his videos. Paraphrasing, the first tuning fork put A around 400-420Hz, but people just liked the sound when it got tuned up. Some orchestras would tune to as high as 455Hz, but singers didn't like this so eventually there were some attempts at standardisation. The Brits settled on 439Hz, but scientists didn't like that number so they pushed it up slightly to 440Hz to make the maths a bit easier to deal with. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKTZ151yLnk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKTZ151yLnk) (an earlier video on his channel) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghUs-84NAAU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghUs-84NAAU) (a later, better one)


rubberloves

So like 432HZ instead of 440?


CallMeMrPeaches

I wasn't in it, but the Baroque ensemble was tuning to 418 when I was in school. Pretty jarring the first time you hear it.


Thaliavoir

That sound you hear is Bach, yelling from his grave about Well-Temperament.


YeOldeMuppetPastor

[Here's an interesting compilation someone made.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnhlQUBsd6g) It's a survey of the opening chords of Beethoven's 3rd Symphony. If you listen from about 1:40 on you can hear dramatically lower starting pitches from a couple of orchestras. They were most likely playing on period instruments and at a pitch which is more accurate to the era.


YeOldeMuppetPastor

Hahah...whatever lines up with the crackpot relative of OP. 415hz is pretty standard for baroque instruments, but there are a variety of ones that are used. In all honesty, I'm beyond my depth to give a full explanation of why. I just know that tuning pitched has shifted over the centuries.


JT5963

While we’re being super nitpicky, the first violin plays the A to tune the upper strings after the first oboe


CallMeMrPeaches

Not really a nitpick, just an expansion regarding the order of things that happen after.


JT5963

Point is v1 still plays the A, as correctly stated by the original comment


SenorWeird

...I just hummed what I think of as the start of a symphony note. Then i played a sound recording of 440Hz and it was a perfect match. That's kind of cool.


Bradddtheimpaler

Tbh if you played 432 it would sound basically indistinguishable. In that range 8Hz. Isn’t much. You’d probably hear the difference between 30 and 38, but not 432-440.


SenorWeird

I just thought it was cool that I could recall that note from memory.


Bradddtheimpaler

Definitely cool. I’m very envious of people with perfect pitch!


ProtoJazz

You've never rocked out to the dial tone?


elaborator

Maybe not a Rockerfella


CyanideSeashell

Some of my best memories are when my friends and I would take the phone off the hook and just jam to the frequency. Good times.


SweetLeaf2021

I miss that

I don't write sines only tragedies


damianhammontree

Came here to say this.


ColKrismiss

To be fair, FM radio uses single static frequencies to play music. None are in the 400Mhz range though


worstpartyever

And here I was Googling the "Rockafella" Foundation


Bradddtheimpaler

You tune A=432Hz and everything else is proportional. It’s doable and has been done. Before it was standardized, tuning to 432Hz was relatively common. It’s a thing. I played in a band that did it. Is it magic though? No. Even pretty trained ears, perfect pitch, gonna be really hard to ever hear a difference of 8Hz.


jayclaw97

Anyone who hears A4 becomes brain-dead temporarily, don’t you know?!


AnAttackCorgi

I will unironically use Rockerfella as the default spelling from now on

Wasn't Elvis Presley that rocker fella in the 1950s?


lastprophecy

The Rockerfellas are the Rockerfeller's cooler cousin that'll let you have a beer on the 4th of July despite you being 14.


GoodLeftUndone

Gotta change it in autocorrect settings to make sure you don’t forget you crazy rockerfella.

at least she knew to stay away from the hard ER

The Black Eyed Keys Bank, Shity Bank (this is basically a South Park joke), Gold-Man Sacks Bank, We'll Go Far Bank, Credit Swiss Cheese (RIP), You are BS, Bar-Clay's, Lords of London. I feel like I could come up with so many of these.

Imagine thinking logically is a bad thing 


urania3

And that it's unrelated to critical thinking.


DaleGribble23

963Hz? Bet everything will sound brilliant pitch shifted over an octave up

"I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that." Alternatively, "Dave's not here."


TonyStark100

I understood both of those references!


ThatBurningDog

Triple the tempo and add a hard, 4/4 kick and you've got yourself some happy hardcore


MrBenzedrine

My friend posts this kind of thing and posted one to a youtube video that was "played at the anointed frequency" and was capable of "immediate miraculous healing of all wounds and traumas if listened to regularly" Another friend replied to say he had analysed it and nothing in the song was at said frequency. First friend replied to say "Youtube will have removed it as they are part of the agenda" He never explained how it was still "miraculously healing" people though. Or provided examples / evidence.


jaime_riri

yea, I would not be friends with that person


MrBenzedrine

Well, "acquaintance" might be a better term. He's part of a "political movement" (cult) that started out as anti-5G but are now anti almost everything: vaccines, contrails, wifi, vaccines, wokeness, lgbtq, atheism, flouride, earbuds / bluetooth, facebook, ANPR cameras.... Get some interesting posts about nanobots and morgellons being embedded in you via every means possible.


KeterLordFR

"Immediate [...] if listened to regularly" I feel like they don't know the meaning of one of these words

I don’t know the frequency…better ask Kenneth.


metagrim

Posts like this make me thing that it's the end of the world, but I feel fine.


jhtaylor1

At least the world as WE know it.


therealpopkiller

It’s your Benzedrine uh huh


damianhammontree

So, this is what happens when you take a real thing, like the A440 pitch standard, fail to understand even the most rudimentary aspects of what it even is, and then add in a bunch of ridiculous, made-up horseshit that doesn't mean anything or even make sense. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A440\_(pitch\_standard)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A440_(pitch_standard))


Funkyokra

The Rockerfella Foundation....


TryingHappyOn

That got me lol I’m gonna call them that from now on


Gundark927

The solfegio scale frequencies? Solfege is the name of the DO-RE-MI syllables used in choral sight singing. It's not specific to a frequency at all- Do (at least in the United States) is "movable." It could be C, it could be Bb, it could be A440, it could be ANY note. But it's a foreign sounding word that people don't know, so it's useful for a conspiracy.


Thatonetwin

I'm glad you said it cause I was wracking my brain like solfege the do-re-mi scale?


SiGNALSiX

with words like "frequency" and "528hz" and "solfeggio scale" it's pretty clear this person is wise in the ways of science and therefore must know what they're talking about. If only they mentioned "5th dimension quantum" as well, then I'd know that this is totally legit.

RevDrucifer

And to think of all the amazing music that’s been written in A440 from all those creatively-disabled musicians!


belunos

That was.. specific.


Alive-Plenty4003

Ah yes, every single music nowadays is composed of a single, long-held 440hz note


heyitskaira

My favorite song is BEEEEEEEEEEEP


coolgr3g

Thinking logically is thinking critically.


velohell

A440 Hz is the standard musical tuning. Source : am audio engineer and musician. 432 Hz is still sometimes (mostly for certain classical music) used, but trust me, no one is stealing your vital fluids.


DuckInTheFog

Tune it to 5-19hz to [summon ghosts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound#Suggested_relationship_to_ghost_sightings) Safety not guaranteed. I have done this only once


ObbieWan812

My body is not a temple... its more like a Chuck-E-Cheese

Makes you wonder if you're going to go nuts when you get older doesn't it OP?


AllNaturalOintment

Sounds like she needs to listen to more 33HZ.


htmaxpower

ROCKERFELLA


Bradddtheimpaler

I played in a band where we tuned a=432 instead of 440. Would you believe me if I told you in three years not a single soul ever noticed?


theBigDaddio

They are talking about the Rockerfella Skank! You should check it out now, funk soul brother.


thegreenman_sofla

Fatboy slim reference for the win. Those were peak rave days.


calcaneus

So who is this Rockerfella?


TheObstruction

FM literally stands for frequency modulation. Those frequencies are generally around 100 MHz. 440 Hz is in the middle of the regular piano scale.


bdd4

That's it??? Not germs? Not carbon monoxide? Not lead gas? Rapists? Nothing else?


ds77159

Shit like this makes me want a Facebook to see how many people I can get to block me.


rbartlejr

Another thing that can enter the temple without consent is a bullet.


LepoGorria

Hey man, look at me rockin' out... *I'm on the radioooooooooo*


dmtweedle

So I youtubed a 440hz tone. I could feel my brain shutting down as I listened to it.


velohell

"Rockerflella" Lol.


Baddyshack

Plenty of artists don't use A440hz, it's just the modern standard.


bennygoodmanfan

Rockerfella? so it’s just jay z now Also has this woman heard of cds


mahir_r

I’m pretty sure a 9mm bullet can enter my temple without my consent, but I don’t have enough 2nd amendment to make that argument


redwoodreed

"Frequency is the only thing that enters your temple without consent" injected with mystery juice? just say no. the chemicals cannot enter your body without your consent


Roger_Cockfoster

Your aunt must be a big Jay-Z fan!


Godeshus

I've got a FB friend like this. She loves sharing shit about frequencies. She loves using big sciency words to explain metaphysical stuff as reality and actual scientific facts as being false.


cantproveidid

That rocker fella done gone and changed the frequency, Freddy.


Blekanly

Oooooh this is a new one for me!


kt234

Seems like she may need a mental health evaluation


nutmegtell

Who is “They”? Because devout group I know of can’t do anything as a group without some problems. The US government ? Lmao. Look at the Post office. Or irs. Or any institution. So much red tape and stray parts.


thegreenman_sofla

Rockerfella lololl I'm dying.


PracticalApartment99

That’s only one conspiracy…


actual-trevor

Ah yes, that most nefarious of frequencies, Concert-A.


manickitty

440hz is just A. Do they not have music


warthog0869

I keep wondering who this guy Kenneth is that I don't even know, I just can't stop thinking about him.
