The definition of concert pitch A has, since 1939, been standardized to 440 Hertz. The difference between any two consecutive pitches on a piano is equal to the twelfth root of 2. Since middle C is nine semitones below concert pitch A, rounded to two decimal places, this is approximately equal to 440 / ((2^(1/12))^9). Rounded to two decimal places, this is equal to 261.63 Hz.

What note corresponds to a frequency of 60 hertz?

Assuming the frequency of Middle C to be 261.63 hertz, accurate to two decimal places, taking this two octaves down brings us to 65.41 hertz. Sending us down a further semitone gives us 65.41 x 1/21/12, which sends us to B, at a frequency of 61.74 hertz, accurate to two decimal places, the closest possible genuine note to a 60 hertz frequency. Effectively, this is the third B below middle C, including that which is a semitone below.

Is there a musical note with a frequency of 7.8 hertz?

Given that the A above middle C has a frequency of 440 hertz, the lowest note on a regular piano has a frequency, rounded to two decimal places, of 27.50 hertz. Taking this an octave further down gives a frequency of 13.75, too low for a human ear to hear. Descending ten semitones, to two Bs below the bottom end of a piano, gives a frequency approximately equal to 13.75/(2^(1/12)10) = 7.72 Hertz, the closest genuine note to a 7.8 hertz frequency.


What does 440 mean on a guitar tuner?

The A440 option on your metronome is to produce the note of A at 440 HZ. It's on the metronome to help you to tune your voice to pitch of the note of A as a starting point. Specifically A440 is the A in the fourth octave (in orders words A4, the A above middle C). See the related link for further information.
