Funny how we all know the YouTube video is more credible than the peer-reviewed study. If I had to explain why to a stranger I'd really struggle.

It should have just mentioned that Hz includes the arbitrary definition of 1 second. If we wanted real/natural values, everything should be done in Planck units.

#44How do you do a double-blind study here: A significant portion of people would be able to tell A=440 from A=432 with no external reference. Do you screen both tester and recipient for the inability to distinguish?

#45I wrote a successful track based on this called “Natural Harmonics” [1] and it’s tuned to 432Hz. Definitely gives it a different feel.

#47I've wondered about the effects of 60 cycle hum. If 440 is an A, I believe 60 is a B. In a lot of popular musical scales this is a dissonant tone. Dissonant tones are associated with anxiety. Is constant 60 cycle hum giving people anxiety?

#48The fact that music tuned to 432 Hz might sound slightly off to listeners might explain the change in attention, which in turn might explain the change in heart rate. It would have been helpful measure other tuning values like 430 or 445 Hz to determine if it's caused by 432 Hz specifically.
Just the act of going through the experiment a second time, now being more familiar with the whole situation, is a plausible cause of lower heart rate all on its own.
