Study On Impact of Sound Frequency on Human Well Being Using Randomized Block Design
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study summarizes the exploration of the impact of sound frequencies on various dimensions of human well-being. The study investigates the psychological and physiological responses to different sound frequencies, considering factors such as emotional states, focus, stress relief, and pain perception. The experiment draws on established psychoacoustic principles and incorporates data from controlled experiments, including a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The study employs statistical analyses, such as ANOVA, to discern the significance of Intercept, Block Number, and Sound Frequency in predicting variations in well-being outcomes.the study revealed valuable insights into the factors influencing different dimensions of human well-being. The consistent significance of Intercept, Block Number, and Sound Frequency across various aspects suggests the importance of considering both individual and external factors, as well as the specific frequencies of sounds, in understanding and promoting well-being. These findings can have implications for designing interventions or environments that aim to enhance different aspects of human well-being through targeted sound exposure.
