A4 = 440Hz
A4 = 442Hz
In the musical system, the equal temperament is a widely used tuning system. It divides an octave into
12
equal semitones. The frequency ratio between adjacent semitones is a fixed value, approximately1.0594631
, which isthe 12th root of 2
. For example, if the frequency ofA4
(the international standard pitch) is440Hz
, then the frequency ofA#4
(a semitone higher thanA
) is approximately440Hz * 1.0594631 = 466.164Hz
.Other less common reference pitches, such as
A4 = 432Hz
,A4 = 444Hz
, etc., can also be calculated independently according to this algorithm.
