What the solfeggio frequencies are
The modern solfeggio frequencies (396, 417, 528, 639, 741, and 852 Hz) were popularized in the 1990s, loosely tied to a medieval hymn whose lines gave us the names do, re, mi. The hymn itself does not specify frequencies; those were added much later.
Does 528 Hz repair DNA?
No. That claim traces back to a misreading and has no support in biology. A few small studies have looked at 528 Hz music and stress, with interesting but very limited results. If the tone relaxes you, enjoy it for that.
Questions
