Albert Einstein once said, "everything in our Universe is vibration." The atoms in our bodies, the molecules and atoms in inanimate objects, thoughts and sounds - all things in our Universe are in motion, vibrating . Even the planet itself vibrates and resonates at its own frequency.

The human ear can only hear a limited range of vibrations per second. In sound science, the number of vibrations per seconds is known as "frequency", which is measured in Hz.

The human ear is only capable of hearing sounds that vibrate at the frequency of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Dolphins and bats are capable of hearing sound up to 100 kHz, so you can see how limited the human capacity for hearing sounds is.

At the heart of solfeggio frequencies is the belief that the vibrational signature of certain sounds, ranging from 174 Hz to 963 Hz, can positively impact our mental, physical and spiritual health.

Now that we've covered the basics of the science of sound, let's have a look at where Solfeggio frequencies came from.

What Are Solfeggio Frequencies?

While there's a number of different opinions on where the solfeggio frequencies originated, it's widely believed they were first introduced by a Benedictine Monk and music theorist named Guido d’Arezzo in the 10th Century.

Guido d'Arezzo put music to a poem called "The Hymn To St John The Baptist." This hymn, which is a Gregorian chant, is the most widely celebrated example of the use of the solfeggio scale in ancient music. The six original tones of the solfeggio scale are all present in it.

Here it is, if you'd like to listen to it:

This is the first stanza of The Hymn To St John The Baptist:

Ut queant laxis
Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum
Famuli tuorum
Solve polluti
labii reatum
Sancte Johannes

You may notice that the musical scale of Ut-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La is present, which forms the basis for our modern Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti scales used by musicians today.

Each scale holds a particularly frequency that can be measured in Hz. Here they are:

• UT : 396 Hz
• Re = 417 Hz
• Mi = 528 Hz
• Fa = 639 Hz
• Sol = 741 Hz
• La = 852 Hz

These six tones form the original solfeggio scale. Three extra frequencies were subsequently added, yielding the modern day solfeggio scale which consists of the nine tones you can listen to below.

The Solfeggio Frequency List

Below you will find the 9 pure solfeggio frequencies. Simply click on the arrow next to tone you want to hear. These are the pure tones, with no added music or embellishments. You can play each tone on its own, or you can scroll through the list and play several (or all) of the tones at once. Each tone will last for 4 minutes and 35 seconds.

If you would like to work with the solfeggio tones, but find it difficult to listen to the pure tones, there are many beautiful musical scores set to the 9 solfeggio frequency tones on YouTube.

You can use these tones for meditation, as a part of your yoga practice or simply play them in the background as you go about your day. I recommend listening to them daily for at least 21 days. I've found this to be roughly the amount of time it takes to start seeing results.

The best way to listen to solfeggio frequencies with with earphones. Listen to them at a moderately low volume. They don't need to be loud to be effective. If you don't have earphones, it's perfectly fine to listen to them without.
