I was reading reddit yesterday, and someone asked a question :

I've noticed that Dr. Dre tunes all of his with a at 453.5Hz, I've heard of
people tuning down to a 432Hz but not up,Why does he do that?

Someone provided an interesting answer, and it makes a lot of sense and I've
never heard of someone doing that before.  Anyhow, heres the reason they
provided.

It has to do with ground hum at 60Hz in theU.S.A.  Basically 60Hz
is somewhere between Bb and B  and by tuning up to 453.5Hz or so you've
created something that will be in tune with the ground hum on speakers.

Anyhow I found this interesting, so I figured I'd share it on MusicalNet.
Dr. Dre is a pretty smart guy apparently.
