yeah, I did. It sounds cool and all but they are manipulating reality because they are using rounded numbers and not decimal ones.

Basically the debate of such frequencies comes from the 19th century when orchestras were varying their tuning because they didn´t have any standard whatsoever and the tuner they used in order to refine their instruments was a tuning fork (pic related) so they could give you a note of reference according to the sound that it delivered after hitting it. One of them registered an A in 422.5 Hz (Haydn), another tuning fork that used a few years later registered an A of 409 Hz. Around 1800, Beethoven would use a tuning fork that registered a note of reference with an A of 455,4 Hz.

Orchestras simply tuned their instruments with higher frequencies and so music would sound more lively and exciting during the movements of those plays. However, if you were a singer around that era (namely the ones dedicated to opera), they would complain that they would have to make a great effort in order to fit their singing voice into the piece so Verdi would fix that adjusting the tuning to 432 Hz so the singers wouldn´t have to make those huge efforts anymore. But in no way that frequency was chosen because of the mystical and cool search of the sound of the universe with those 432 Hz, it was meant to prevent that orchestras would refine their instruments with those high frequencies and find a balance among the singers and the instruments. That was it, simply selected so both sides could agree on something, it was meant to be a practical solution.

Basically, those who are promoting the 432 Hz frequency are record companies, websites or marketing experts that are trying to sell to you their music/albums just because it has 432 Hz as an special feature or characteristic and uniqueness, so they can create an almost religious group about defending the 432 Hz under the premise of harmonious, reflective and peaceful music for your ears...when in reality, the universe and the animals around you won´t care about 8 Hz of difference at all.

Now, we could talk about topics that are actually physical terms like reverb or how the lower notes impact more to your body (especially when you are in a concert so your body vibrates more towards those notes than the higher ones) but honestly, the premise of the 432 Hz as the sound of the universe is more of a marketing move than combining all the toy commercials/brands of Hasbro.
