All values assume twelve-tone equal temperament at the international standard pitch of A4 = 440 Hz. In that system every semitone has the same size - a frequency ratio of 2^(1/12) - so A♯0 is exactly 440 × 2^(-47/12) Hz. Under alternative references the note shifts with the reference: at A4 = 432 Hz, A♯0 becomes 28.61 Hz.

Each octave doubles the frequency - the simplest relationship in music, and the reason notes an octave apart sound like “the same note, higher”.

One semitone down is A0 at 27.50 Hz; one semitone up is B0 at 30.87 Hz. Need a frequency between notes, or a different waveform? The tone generator plays anything from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; the note ↔ frequency converter does the math both directions, and the chromatic tuner listens to your instrument and shows the offset in cents.

A♯0 FAQ

What frequency is A♯0?

What MIDI number and piano key is A♯0?

A♯0 is MIDI note 22 and key 2 of 88 on a standard piano. Octave numbering follows scientific pitch notation, where middle C is C4 (MIDI 60).

How do I tune to A♯0?

Play the tone above and match your instrument by ear until the beating between the two pitches slows and disappears, or use the chromatic tuner with your microphone for a cents readout. Small mistunings show up as slow beats: one beat per second at this pitch means you are about 58.4 cents off.
