I've been listening to the way a narrow tone can pull a chord out of a quiet room, and I'm curious—how does a shift in frequency translate to an emotional shift in listeners?
When you shift a frequency, it’s like turning a knob on the mind’s radio, the low tones roll in like a slow sigh, the high ones crack like a laugh, and the brain stitches those vibrations into feelings that feel bigger than the sound itself.
Sounds true, but the brain doesn’t just map raw frequency to feeling. It’s more about how the energy distributes across the spectrum, the harmonics, the attack and decay. The “slow sigh” is the envelope, the “laugh” is the overtones. Precision in those curves is where emotion really lives.
