The Language You’re Fluent in — but Forgot How to Hear | Louis VI | TED
What if the calm you feel when you hear birdsong isn’t a coincidence, but ancient evolutionary wiring … a signal that once meant safety? Musical ecologist and rapper Louis VI says humans are hardwired to nature’s sonic language, but modern life has drowned it out. He explores how we can tap back into the “overwhelming…

The Controversial Climate Tool Funding Real Change | Sandeep Roy Choudhury | TED

Love this and it’s frequencies bro❤ 432 hz is natures frequency. The birds the crickets etc
.. 432 natures balance
@LouisVI
February 19, 2026 at 2:37 pm
Yea I’ve been hearing a lot about this lately, I need to look into it, but essentially 432hz being the most common frequency in nature right? I’ve heard about the Schumman resonance at 783Hz which is the sound of the earths atmosphere which is mindblowing

@LouisVI

Thank you so much @wherewegrow that means the world! It is crazy how quickly hearing some beautiful bird song or crickets influences your physiology, I’m heading out right now to try a record the dusk chorus

OK, I admit it’s awesome, but I think TED lost its scientific profile. A couple of years before you could learn so much of TED videos, but nowadays it’s purpose is just entertain you without giving real knowledge.

There really is, if we start noticing more with our ears over our eyes we stand a chance of creating a far richer more beautiful world. And the positive possibilities are endless

It’s incredible isn’t it? It may seem simple, but there’s a deep science to this that is fundamental to our health and the health of the planet and we’re only just scratching the surface; in the next 5 -10 years , we’ll recognise the damage neglecting our sonic landscapes has fundamental to change for our own existence

@LouisVI
February 20, 2026 at 10:39 am
Thank you so much, we really do, and it’s crazy only after a few minutes of reminding, it’s impossible to unhear, we can definitely have a more beautiful world if we stop focusing so much on what we just see, and stop neglecting what we hear
