Music therapy[edit]
Music therapy is a legitimate thing, useful in various contexts. Anecdotally, in a psychiatric inpatient setting, listening to structured music, such as the keyboard works of J.S. Bach, is more helpful than hearing uplifting feelgood songs. I have witnessed positive effects on a dementia patient when hearing familiar tunes from his own history. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, and all that. Alec Sanderson (talk) 02:29, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
Mention of A-440 Vs 432 .. whatever crank theory?[edit]
Would it be appropriate to mention something about the "A-440 Conspiracy Theory" idea/theory/myth/etc? (Was this perhaps the basis for the fictional chaos-inducing sonic weapon in the movie Kingsman?) I've not "studied" it (whatever that would mean), but I wonder if it's proponents say something about some kind of magic properties associated with the "correct" A-432 tone, or some other nonsense?

What about cats?[edit]
What about cats purring? Koafox (talk) 18:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- I'd imagine it lowers stress, which has some medical significance. Although, there's probably nothing special about cats purring compared to any other stress-lowering sound like nice music. This page is more focused on much more insane/non-plausible claims. Chillpilled (talk) 18:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
