If you always wanted to know what Hz meant and how I could use it to tweak my sound.
Knowing the frequencies, the HZ of the notes of the ukulele can help you to know what to cut or boost when it comes to sound and setting on your effects pedals.
Hertz—Hz
The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the derived unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second. It is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves.
MIDI note number shown with each frequency: Middle C is C4.
MIDI Note/Key Number Chart Frequency Chart (Pitch to Note) . The lowest note on a standard 88 key piano is A0 (21.5Hz). Below that we are in elephant hearing land. Humans with very good hearing can just barely detect sounds at 20 Hz, but part of a typical elephant rumble is below 20 Hz, so humans can’t hear that.
