What is the difference between 432Hz and 528Hz?
You’ve probably heard about the powerful effects of 432 Hz and 528 Hz and how tuning into these frequencies, whether during a Soundbath or musically, can bring you more peace, physical healing, and spiritual growth.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of these frequencies, exploring their benefits, their ties to history, and even their connection to the very fabric of the universe itself. If you’re a Sound Healer looking to deepen your knowledge of frequency, or you are just curious, you’ll see how these vibrations resonate not only with our bodies and minds but with the rhythms of life itself.
The frequencies 432 Hz and 528 Hz are both often discussed in the context of sound healing, music, and their powerful effects on the mind and body.
While both are part of the discussion about healing frequencies, they do differ in several key ways. In a Soundbath, we can work with both frequencies or just one, depending on what the client needs and what you feel intuitively guided to use with your crystal bowls.
432 Hz: "Natures Frequency"
432 Hz is often promoted as a frequency that is in harmony with nature and the universe. Some claim that 432 Hz is a natural tuning because it aligns with the resonant frequencies of the earth and the human body. It is believed to have a calming, soothing effect, and is often associated with being more "pure" and "natural" than the more common 440 Hz tuning used in modern Western music.
Fun Facts: 432 Hz is often cited as the frequency that Mozart used, and while that is true, it also has an insane amount of importance in Greek, Egyptian, and Tibetan cultures.
Benefits: People who advocate for listening to music tuned to 432 Hz claim it can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, enhance creativity, and harmonize the listener with the natural world. There is a direct connection between this frequency and the human body, which is why there are so many current scientific explorations into how 432 Hz can be used for medical purposes. Studies have also shown that this frequency can both lower blood pressure and heart rate, making it a powerful option to use with clients suffering from anxiety, overwhelm, and exhaustion.

528 Hz: The "Miracle" or "Unconditional Love" Frequency
The frequency of DNA Repair, 528 Hz is often called the "love frequency" or "miracle tone" and is associated with healing and transformation at a molecular level. Some proponents suggest that 528 Hz resonates with the frequency of our human DNA, promoting healing and regeneration, particularly for the body and mind.
Fun Facts: This frequency is often discussed in the context of the “Solfeggio scale”, an ancient musical scale that was believed to have spiritual and healing properties. In this scale, 528 Hz is said to be connected to the note "Mi" (or "Mi" in the do-re-mi scale), which is associated with miracles, healing, and love.
Benefits: People who support the use of 528 Hz claim it promotes positive emotions like love, compassion, and peace, and it is also thought to aid in emotional healing, DNA repair, and the reduction of stress. This makes it a great option to use when working with clients suffering from physical ailments.
What are the key differences?
432 Hz is often described as more of a grounding and harmonizing frequency, connecting the listener to nature and promoting a state of relaxation and balance. 528 Hz, on the other hand, is more closely tied to ideas of emotional healing, love, and even physical healing at a cellular or DNA level. This is great for practitioners who work a lot with 1:1 clients and those desiring to work more deeply with the physical body.
432 Hz is often promoted as a more natural frequency, potentially tied to the more natural harmonic structures of the earth, while 528 Hz is more often connected with the Solfeggio scale and metaphysical ideas about healing and transformation. In music, 432 Hz is often used as an alternative to the standard 440 Hz tuning (which is the common pitch for modern music). Some musicians prefer to tune their instruments to 432 Hz for a softer, warmer sound. 528 Hz is not a standard tuning but is rather used in specific healing music, sound therapy, or meditation sessions aimed at stimulating love and positive emotional states, for example, John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
While both 432 Hz and 528 Hz are associated with healing and well-being, they have different philosophical and metaphysical connections. 432 Hz is often seen as the frequency of natural harmony, mother nature and promoting relaxation and balance, while 528 Hz is more focused on emotional healing, love, connection, and DNA repair. As a Sound Healer, there is no wrong frequency to use - only the one you feel the most drawn to!
