What happens when you switch
Small enough not to notice.
Even less movement than 432 — a sixth of a semitone. The reason for this tuning is not the number itself: here the C sits close to 528.
Origin
The connection to 528
Tune the A to 444 and the C above it lands on roughly 528 Hz. That’s the whole reason 444 is in this list: it’s the A-tuning in which 528 comes out as C.
Unlike 528 itself, the music stays audibly where it was. Anyone who wants the 528 connection without shifting the track by three semitones picks 444.
