What is 396 Hz?
396 Hz is a Solfeggio frequency close to G4, often labeled “liberating guilt and fear” in meditation music.
396 Hz is associated with the syllable “Ut” in the modern Solfeggio list. There is no reliable scientific evidence that listening to this frequency heals the body, repairs DNA or changes your mood beyond ordinary relaxation. Treat it as a musical tone and a beautiful pattern, not a treatment.
