To be fair, science thrives on curiosity. I'd prefer we establish something was safe and have at the experiments. So, disbelieve in part by trying to disprove. Win win.
Science is not being advanced by disproving crackpots. It's a waste of precious resource better spent elsewhere.

No it isn't. You should default to disbelieving such extraordinary claims.
You should default to having no strong opinion at all.

Expecting your brain to operate in a way that produces certain frequencies because your ears are detecting air vibrations with those frequencies sounds extremely homeopathic.
Dismissing it based on nothing more than a feeling, and no data, is just as irrational as homeopaths.
Study: Gamma and beta bursts during working memory readout suggest roles in its volitional control Citation: Mikael Lundqvist, Pawel Herman, Melissa R. Warden, Scott L. Brincat & Earl K. Miller. Nature Communications 9, Article number: 394 (2018).

I wonder how much this can be applied to day to day life. For example, the Binaural app on the iOS app store acts as a wave generator that lets you listen to specific frequencies. I'd be interested to see if you could force yourself into getting beta wave activity in the brain by just listening to beta frequencies -- almost as if to tune yourself manually.

The proposition "listening to music affects your mood" is very different from the proposition "listening to a certain frequency of tone causes your brain to produce waves at a corresponding frequency."
Sure but who said anything about music? The word music doesn't appear in the original link or in any other comment on this page, or in the link I posted.
