RE: The science behind music: an evolutionary mistake, and a human obsession
Interesting that you point that out. I actually started writing this post with that in mind, but the more I read about it the more it seems that 432Hz, like 440Hz, is essentially arbitrary. There were actually a whole bunch of different frequencies used for A4 before it was standardized to 440Hz. As a musician I sometimes use 432 though, it can sound better on certain instruments.
