Why Do Houseflies Buzz in the Key of F 🪰🎵

Did you know that houseflies always buzz in the key of F? In this video, we explore the science behind it: Consistent Wingbeat: A housefly (Musca domestica) beats its wings approximately 200 times per second (200 Hertz) during flight. Frequency of the Note F: In acoustics and standard musical pitch, a frequency of around ~175 Hz to ~200 Hz falls into the range of the note F (specifically around the note F3). Key of F Major: Because the frequency of its wing vibrations sits right at the note F, the resulting buzz naturally resonates in the key of F (F Major). Fun Fact: You could theoretically tune a guitar string (specifically to the note F) just by matching the pitch of a housefly buzzing past you! #ScienceFactsAnimalFactsHouseflyPhysicsMusicTheoryDidYouKnowInsectsFunFacts
