432 hz tone
This page opens the generator on 432 Hz, with the reference A set to 432. To compare, type 440 in the frequency field and play again: the gap is 8 Hz, small but audible when the two tones alternate.
A bit below the 440 Hz A.
About a third of a semitone.
Versus 261.63 Hz in 440 tuning.
The A of this tuning is not 432.
A little longer than that of 440 Hz.
From 1 Hz to 22 kHz, limited by the Nyquist limit of your audio: half the sample rate. On a 44.1 kHz device the technical ceiling is 22.05 kHz and the tool uses 22 kHz. If your audio runs at a lower rate the frequency is reduced and a notice appears. Human hearing spans roughly 20 Hz to 20 kHz in young people, so below 20 Hz you feel vibration instead of hearing it, and above 18 to 20 kHz many people hear nothing at all.
There is no proven benefit. The studies that exist are small and do not show an effect that 440 Hz lacks. If you relax more listening to music at 432 Hz, it may be the timbre or expectation, and that counts as a personal preference.
Pick A4 432 in the generator tuning selector, play the A and bring the string or key to where the beats vanish. The other notes follow equal temperament: the low E of a guitar, for example, lands at 80.91 Hz instead of 82.41 Hz.
Yes, by switching the two tones back to back: 32 cents is above the smallest difference trained listeners perceive, which is in the range of a few cents. Without a direct comparison, most people cannot tell which tuning they are hearing.
