For your spiritual journery, I'd suggest you research/Google the Solfeggio Frequencies and/or why 432 Hz is important...
The diminished fifth or the "devils chord" isn't really a chord per se; you can use it in all keys.
For instance, in the key of G, the chord would be made up of the One, the Flat Fifth and the One octave - G, D♭(flat) and high G.
Like I said, you can use this chord in any key by using the One, ♭Five and One (octave = 8va), just as long as you flatten that fifth.
Tritone in C would be = C, G♭, C
Tritone in A would be = A, E♭, E
Tritone in F would be = F, B (or C♭), F
The diminished/flatted fifth, augmented/raised fourth and tritone are all names for this interval in western (12tet) music. I'm sure the chord that was banned by the Council of Trent wasn't just the tritone interval, it was the diminished chord itself (unison-minor third-diminished fifth, e.g. A-C-Eb). In western 12tet there is no difference in terms of frequency between the diminished fifth and augmented fourth intervals (both 600 cents, exactly half an octave). But in other western and Asian tuning systems the augmented fourth and diminished fifth have different ratios, and they exist as separate intervals in the harmonic series. You can't really play any of the intervals on a guitar without tuning slightly sharp or flat of many of the 12 chromatic notes, even the perfect fifths are a little bit out (in 12tet they are exactly 700c but the 3:2 ratio is 702).
As a musician I've played all sorts of instruments over the years as learning about music (first Western music theory then learning the physics of sound more generally) lets you find the notes on any instrument. With the exception of guitar/bass/mandolin etc I'm not very good technically but using some instruments, (e.g. violins where you can pick the pitches by ear as they're fretless) you can play all sorts of intervals that generate every type of emotional response to the 'open' ear.
In other ways, I use music in rituals to heighten the emotional input (as magic is all about the power of pure emotion). Knowing the effects music and sound more generally can have on people and on nature, I'm prepared to go with some of what the OP is saying. Unfortunately his writing style (the way of presenting what he said) confused me

The thing is, it's impossible to talk with you. I tried 7 ways from sunday to ask the same question to no avail. It just seems you either don't get it or intentionally run circles around the answer. I can't communicate like that.
Native American Music nativemusichistory.blogspot.com/ In 1934, federal bans on Native American music and dance were lifted, clearing the way for the reemergence of Native musical traditions and the birth of the .
In 1973, Redbone released the politically oriented "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", recalling the massacre of Lakota Sioux Indians by the Seventh Cavalry in 1890. The song ends with the subtly altered sentence "We were all wounded 'by' Wounded Knee". It charted in several European countries and reached the #1 position in The Netherlands but did not chart in the U.S. where it was initially withheld from release and then banned by several radio stations.[8]

Has anyone measured the Hz of these "sky sounds"? If anyone has done so, the answer could be of monumental importance. Just imagine if it were precisely...
432 Hz.
Think about it.
Martin Gardner describes the Pythagorean foundation behind fractals with "scaling noise" in Fractal music, Hypercards and More: "If you play a recording of such a sound at a different speed, you have only to adjust the volume to make it sound exactly as before. By adjusting the spectral density we obtain an auto correlation of zero - in other words the same ratio that expands."(96)
It has been a long-standing puzzle why 1=f power spectra are seen in a variety of physical systems [10]. One of the ideas behind the BTW model was to explain the mechanism of 1=f noise, but the model does not contain a 1=f power spectrum. The spatiotemporal scaling in the self-organized critical state does not necessarily manifest itself in nontrivial exponents. H. J. Jensen et al. [41, 59] and later J. Kertesz and L. B. Kiss [60] showed that the power spectrum of the activity was in fact 1=f 2, i.e., the spectrum of a random walk.

Thanks!
These sound waves are thought to have been produced by explosive events occurring around a supermassive black hole (bright white spot) in Perseus A, the huge galaxy at the center of the cluster. The pitch of the sound waves translates into the note of B flat, 57 octaves below middle-C. This frequency is over a million billion times deeper than the limits of human hearing, so the sound is much too deep to be heard. The image also shows two vast, bubble-shaped cavities, each about 50 thousand light years wide, extending away from the central supermassive black hole. These cavities, which are bright sources of radio waves, are not really empty, but filled with high-energy particles and magnetic fields. They push the hot X-ray emitting gas aside, creating sound waves that sweep across hundreds of thousands of light years. The detection of intergalactic sound waves may solve the long-standing mystery of why the hot gas in the central regions of the Perseus cluster has not cooled over the past ten billion years to form trillions of stars. As sounds waves move through gas, they are eventually absorbed and their energy is converted to heat. In this way, the sound waves from the supermassive black hole in Perseus A could keep the cluster gas hot.
so the wavelength is 6 mm x (5,000 light years/ 1 mm) = 30,000 light years!

I've heard it said that every point in time and space has its own frequency. And if you know a particular frequency associated with an event in the past, and match it, you can time travel to that event in the past.
Do you agree with that statement?

Very typical. You build walls of # that individually are easily broken down but collectively become too tedious to properly refute within the limits of this site. I'm referring to chemical activity in the brain causing malfunction in neurotransmitters like with Little Serotonin Dopamine effects. Your mind is not expanded by perceiving the unreal. Could it explain how someone could think that 5/4 cubed which is 125/64 can equal 2? Maybe. How about 9/8 cubed to 729/512 which was Pythagoras' approximation of the square root of 2 but when squared equals 531441/262144 which obviously does not equal 2. 400 BCE? You are implying they were stupid? Didn't know better?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has taught us that oxytocin works at the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor site. Serotonin is found in great density in the amygdala, the seat of all of our negative memories, fears and anxieties. Increased oxytocin in the amygdala triggers serotonin. Serotonin and oxytocin co-release in the brain so increasing serotonin likely increases oxytocin, too. These studies provide evidence that enhanced serotonergic transmission stimulates oxytocin secretion and that 5-HT2 receptors contribute to this effect.
Additionally, impulsive alcoholic offenders show lower CSF 5-HIAA than non-impulsive alcoholic offenders and healthy controls (Virkkunen et al, 1994). These various lines of evidence support the hypothesis that it is the impulsive type of aggression in particular that is associated with serotonin hypofunction.
Interactions of this kind between the serotonin and dopamine systems provide a framework for understanding mechanisms underlying impulsive aggression. Considering the functional regulation of serotonin over the dopamine system, deficient serotonergic function may result in hyperactivity of the dopamine system, promoting impulsive behavior. This relationship may account for co-occurring serotonin and dopamine dysfunctions in individuals with impulsive aggression. In support of this, prefrontal serotonin levels in rats decreased to 80% of baseline level during and after fights, whereas prefrontal dopamine levels increased to 120% after fights (Van Erp & Miczek, 2000). This inverse association between serotonin and dopamine levels during aggression was replicated in a subsequent study (Ferrari, vanErp, Tornatzky, & Miczek, 2003). These results suggest that decreased serotonergic activity in the context of aggressive behavior is closely associated with increased dopamine activity.
More recently, it has emerged that disturbances in peripheral and central oxytocin levels have been detected in some patients with dopamine-dependent disorders. Thus, oxytocin is proposed to be a key neural substrate that interacts with central dopamine systems. In addition to psychosocial improvement, oxytocin has recently been implicated in mediating mesolimbic dopamine pathways during drug addiction and withdrawal. This bi-directional role of dopamine has also been implicated during some components of sexual behavior. This review will discuss evidence for the existence dopamine/oxytocin positive interaction in social behavioral paradigms and associated disorders such as sexual dysfunction, autism, addiction, anorexia/bulimia, and depression. Preliminary findings suggest that whilst further rigorous testing has to be conducted to establish a dopamine/oxytocin link in human disorders, animal models seem to indicate the existence of broad and integrated brain circuits where dopamine and oxytocin interactions at least in part mediate socio-affiliative behaviors. A profound disruption to these pathways is likely to underpin associated behavioral disorders. Central oxytocin pathways may serve as a potential therapeutic target to improve mood and socio-affiliative behaviors in patients with profound social deficits and/or drug addiction.

The frequency ratio represented by four semitones, for example the interval from C to the E above it, is called a major third. This represents a frequency ratio of ... cube root of 2:1, or roughly 1.25992:1. The just major third is defined to be the frequency ratio of 5:4 or 1.25:1. Again it is the just major third which represents the consonant interval, and the major third on our modern equal tempered scale is an approximation to it. The approximation is quite a bit worse than it was for the perfect fifth. The difference between a just major third and an equal tempered major third is quite audible; the difference is about one seventh of a semitone.
(Burkert [1972:441] notes that the harmonic mean discovered in the context of Pythagorean music theory has a major use precisely in approximating the square root.)” Michael Hudson’s essay, “Music as an Analogy for Economic Order in Classical Antiquity” in Jürgen Backhaus (ed.), Karl Bücher. Theory, History, Anthropology, Non-Market Economies (Marburg:Metropolis Verlag, 2000): pp. 113-35 citing Burkert, Walter (1972), Lore and Science in Ancient Pythagoreanism (Harvard University Press, 1972).
The Greeks achieved the geometric ability to tune an equal-tempered monochord when Archytas, Plato's Pythagorean friend, solved the problem of doubling the volume of the god's cubical altar at Delphi, the allegorical form of the problem of establishing the third root of 2. Now the cube root of 2 establishes an equal-tempered major third within the monochord octave....From that beginning, the equal-tempered whole tone is the geometric mean within the major third, and the equal-tempered semitone is the geometric mean within the whole tone. Iterations of this procedure will produce all twelve-tones in equal-temperament. The necessity of tempering the pure intervals, defined by the ratios of integers, is one of the great themes of Plato's Republic. In his allegorical form, “citizens” modelled on the tones of the scale must not demand “exactly what they are owed,” but must keep in mind “what is best for the city.”219
The rigidly arithmetical approach to canonical division seems all the more pointed when we consider that several ancient authors who worked on mathematical harmonics also offered solutions to the problem of how to double the cube, which requires finding two means in continued proportion. This is a problem of geometry, since like the irrational semitone, it involves incommensurable magnitudes….222
if you put a "headline" somewhere near the video stating what it is then maybe I'll click on it, otherwise I'll perceive you as being lazy or deliberately obtrusive and ignore it.

read the posts you reply to more carefully or lay off the crack. one of the two.
Sorry to burst your bubble about fixating on one frequency. haha.
I completely agree that the "strange sounds" are complex messes of jumbled frequencies, BUT some of the drones carry a note - and every note has a root frequency that can be checked for...
originally posted by ThoughtForms it won't sound exactly the same but they shouldn't "clash" if 432hz is part of the strange sound, if the effect is subtle its probably not anything to chase up.
Yes I know they are, but I personally heard one and can testify to their existence so whether you believe in them or not is irrelevant. Yes some are hoaxed I agree on that but you prove nothing about nothing by posting a compilation video.
Also "a lot" of the strange sound vids online are hoaxed -- as is proven in the vids I linked.
this statement is null and void as I have found it to be completely irrelevant to what we are discussing - "are the strange sounds 432hz?" my answer is "yes, they could be, here's the tools for you to find out" your answer is "garble garble ha ha ha" also 1/f as is "single Hz sounds?" sure you could isolate it further, we use decimals to chop it up as finely as you wish, but its not pratical for natural uses of the ears - we don't/can't differentiate between pitch that accurately and pitch is the only 'biological' way we know to measure a sound
I realize that 1/f noise is maybe too complicated for most to understand -- but it is the best explanation for any real "strange sounds" as science has shown 1/f noise to be the model for nonlinear chaotic events in Nature.
and there you go, right there "garble garble ha ha" its all you seem to be able to do....
So I hope that clarifies my previous reply to the question -- it does take a bit of time to digest the vids and links I posted, etc. haha.
How? the science acknowledges and relies on every physical parameter to determine the "spatial length measurement" of a sound wave:
Again there is no "one" frequency -- rather the source of sound is based on complementary opposites -- "frequency" is a Western concept that tries to limit sound to a spatial length measurement.
you don't provide conceptual evidence yet alone anything solid, nor do you de-jargon, these things need to change or I cannot understand.
So the lunar calendar and the solar calendar and the Earth -- this is actually chaotic -- so while it can be "averaged" by Western science in the long time it can not be predicted -- it goes into a singularity as infinity.
that's contradictory to your previous statements about frequency erroneously limiting a sound to a "spatial length measurement", as sounds and frequency are part of the same universe you are stating comes from a single moment in time..
The Universe as a whole does the same -- it's origin is not in space but instead in a singularity of time.
as oddly as you put that...If I understand... then how do u suggest one increases the frequency to make "nothing" into "something?"
So the Law of Phase Harmony is about this -- in terms of how when frequency goes to zero then time goes to infinity as phase -- and this creates reverse time by bending space backwards -- it is a white hole from a black hole. Reality is holographic and when we look out into the universe as space as black in terms of time it is white light as a singularity -- infinitely creating light and spacetime as energy-mass.
