"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"

I hope reading the four posts above that

«Summary: A groundbreaking cross-cultural study has revealed that music universally influences bodily sensations and emotions, transcending cultural boundaries. Researchers from Western and East Asian backgrounds discovered that emotional and structural characteristics of music consistently evoke similar bodily sensations—such as changes in the chest, limbs, and head regions—regardless of cultural background.

The study, analyzing responses to music from different traditions, underscores the role of music in eliciting comparable emotional experiences and bodily responses across diverse groups. This research highlights the intrinsic connection between music, emotion, and physical sensation, suggesting a shared human experience that bridges geographic and cultural divides.»

«The research also dismantled the notion that music’s impact is purely subjective or culturally relative. Instead, it underscored the existence of cross-cultural, shared links between musical features, bodily sensations, and emotions.»

«Acoustic cues for perception “represent a narrow-minded
way of thinking which leads us into a blind alley when faced
with the problem of discovering the real nature of the
auditory mechanism.” [1].
The Pythagorean string ratio theory is the pivot around
which revolve all work in hearing [2; 3]. In this regard,
Stephen & Bates [4]: noted: “Pythagoras’ discovery, instead
of acting as a stimulus for further experiments became the
basis of fantastic philosophical and mathematical
speculations such as the famous “harmony of spheres”, and
so for another 2000 years, sound was mainly involved in a
semi-mystical arithmetic of music.” The situation has not
changed today. After all, Ohm’s Acoustical Law [5], and
Helmholtz’s Resonance/Place Theory [6], both reflecting
perception by ratios of stimulus magnitude, are the acoustical
and neurophysiological facets of the string ratio theory. The
difficulties encountered in the search for acoustic cues to
perception, whether in music or speech, have led many
investigators to label the objective “elusive” [7] or
“ambitious” [8]. The ecological approach is presumably
promising [9, 10, 11, 12]; and recent researchers, following
in the footsteps of Pythagoras, have conducted mechanically-
based investigations into pitch perception [13, 14, 15, 16,
17]. However, rather than seek out the invariant property of
the sound source that underlies subjective pitch, modern
investigators focus the effects of individual mechanical
parameters of the sound source on frequency of vibration, or
the relationship between the vibratory modes of the entire
sound source and pitch, all as though vibrational frequency
were invariant with pitch. »

The Mechanical Invariance Factor in Musical Acoustics and
Perception (Revisited)

This article adress is in my post above ...

hilde45 are you here ?

Do you think my post about acoustics are only about room panels ?😁

Now instead of insulting me why not reading and linking all that information together in this 7 posts and i will help you to understand without insulting or sulking you ...

And i will link together this information here and the relation with A. I. in the thread about A.I. and music where you quitted because i gave too many posts it seems ..

perhaps instead of insulting people discussing is better ...

Thanks

By the way if you had not begun to understand yet, this last news about the Cambridge study confirm many other works as Akpan J. Essien work on the yoruba speaking drums and physical basis invariant perception pertaining to the sound source which will revolutionize the way we understand sound erroneously since Pythagoras......

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in being trapped in your tiny apartment.

This is a forum, not a psychiatric hospital.

Get some help.
