Here is where each comes from, what the evidence says about health claims, and how their cymatics patterns compare. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/learn/solfeggio-frequencies https://cymavis.com/learn/solfeggio-frequencies The Solfeggio frequencies (174–963 Hz) are often called ancient healing tones. Learn where the list really comes from, what each frequency is musically, and what the evidence says. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/learn/cymatics-for-musicians https://cymavis.com/learn/cymatics-for-musicians Turn your music into cymatics visuals for videos, visualizers, live shows and social posts. How to record, convert to MP4, crop for vertical video and use the results. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/learn/faraday-waves https://cymavis.com/learn/faraday-waves Shake a dish of liquid up and down and its surface breaks into stripes, squares or hexagons. Learn how Faraday waves work, why they oscillate at half the driving frequency, and how to see them. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/learn/why-pi-never-closes https://cymavis.com/learn/why-pi-never-closes The curve e^(iθ) + e^(iπθ) spins forever without returning to its start. Learn why irrational numbers never close, why the curve nearly closes at 7 and 113 turns, and why φ is the most irrational number. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/40-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/40-hz 40 Hz is a very low bass tone that matches the brain’s gamma rhythm; on a vibrating plate it produces a few large, simple nodal regions. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/100-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/100-hz 100 Hz is a deep bass tone — close to G2 — often used in speaker cymatics demos because it moves water and sand strongly. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/174-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/174-hz 174 Hz is the lowest tone in the modern “Solfeggio frequencies” set; musically it is close to F3. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/256-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/256-hz 256 Hz is middle C in “scientific pitch,” a tuning where every C is a power of two; in standard tuning middle C is 261.6 Hz. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/285-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/285-hz 285 Hz is one of the modern Solfeggio frequencies; in standard tuning it falls between C♯4 and D4. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/396-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/396-hz 396 Hz is a Solfeggio frequency close to G4, often labeled “liberating guilt and fear” in meditation music. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/417-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/417-hz 417 Hz is a Solfeggio frequency between G♯4 and A4, marketed for “facilitating change.” Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/432-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/432-hz 432 Hz is an alternative tuning for the note A (standard is 440 Hz); the two are only 1.8% apart, so their cymatics patterns look almost the same. Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cymavis.com/frequency/440-hz https://cymavis.com/frequency/440-hz 440 Hz is the international standard pitch for the note A above middle C (A4), used to tune most modern instruments.
