Fibonacci Sound Frequencies

• Note: Classical composers used A432. This frequency relates tonality to Phi and the golden ratio.
• Frequencies: include violet-highlighted frequencies

“* A440 is an arbitrary standard. The American Federation of Musicians accepted the A440 as standard
pitch in 1917. It was then accepted by the U.S. government its standard in 1920 and it was not until 1939 that
this pitch was accepted internationally. Before recent times a variety of tunings were used. It has been
suggested by James Furia and others that A432 be the standard. A432 was often used by classical composers
and results in a tuning of the whole number frequencies that are connected to numbers used in the
construction of a variety of ancient works and sacred sites, such as the Great Pyramid of Egypt. The
controversy over tuning still rages, with proponents of A432 or C256 as being more natural tunings than the
current standard” (Meisner, 2012).
