What the evidence says
No studies support pineal or spiritual claims; the pineal gland responds to light, not sound. It is simply a high, pure tone, and many people prefer it very quiet or as a brief chime.
Where the number comes from
The modern solfeggio list traces to Joseph Puleo and Leonard Horowitz in the 1990s, who derived the numbers by digit-reduction of verse numbers in the Book of Numbers. It is not the medieval scale Guido d’Arezzo taught with the hymn “Ut queant laxis”, which named pitches, not fixed frequencies.
