wow, this is amazing for people like me who just can't seem to internally grok certain things that others find too easy and lose patience explaining to me...
I don't think I'm tone deaf, for example, it's more that that the sounds are so different to me that I don't 'feel' the specialness in the difference between two different notes (like A and C) Versus two sounds of "the same note" at separate intervals (A1 versus A2 or whatever)
They are just four different noises as far as i'm concerned lol
calling them the 'same note' by letter always felt like someone was gaslighting me lmao, because of "symmetry" but it's still totally separate sound value and therefore different 'number (hz)' which innately feels 'real' to me.
I once found an online guitar tuner that stopped emphasizing the note name ( like 99% of online tuners) and instead was just the exact Hz reading in a great big font (also with nice line to help visualize it) of any sound you made into the microphone, so I could experiment moving my voice into higher and lower sounds and see the big number go up or down (rather than merely spastically change in a made-up label like F# ????? meaningless to beginners)
While I would make the hz number change via woooooo sounds it would show you if you were kinda getting near an official note, and then I could feel why some hz sounds 'felt' nice and were physically easier on vocal chords to keep there a few seconds, etc
It was like a biofeedback machine helping me calibrate feeling of 'right' versus 'slightly off'
They took it offline and I never found its like again....
Yes I understand the math/theory behind intervals/octave and symmetry there, but I don't 'feel' it in the way others can somehow, shrug.
your site will help me wade into this frustration again with hopes it will somehow click, thank you!
