    Where It Comes From

    174 Hz sits below the six tones of the medieval hymn and was added by twentieth-century sound practitioners as a foundation beneath the set. It is a modern addition, not a monastic one.

    Tradition

    Held as the note of the body itself — the tone you sound when you want to come back into your own weight, your own bones, your own place on the earth.

    What the Evidence Says

    Low sustained tones are widely reported to reduce felt tension, most likely through slowed breathing and attention rather than any property of this exact number. No clinical claim is made.
