There's no way this is true though. I'd be willing to wager 10-to-1 that this isn't reproducible in a larger study. Also, this isn't much of a "finally" since it appears to be from 2019.

The second reference is satire, right? It's clearly insane.

  The LaRouche folks are deluded, not satirists. Probably even more deluded than the mainstream society they rail against, but definitely differently deluded.

  According to the internet's resident music theory explainer Adam Neely, they're peddling this crap. https://youtu.be/EKTZ151yLnk https://youtu.be/EKTZ151yLnk

  The paper itself is hardly sane: > Because of this harmonic misalignment, listening to 440 Hz music would seem to make people anxious, nervous, or aggressive, because it is not in harmony with the natural frequency of the planet earth. > These same effects would have repercussions on human health since our DNA is sensitive to frequencies, as stated by the Professor Carlo Ventura’s team. > Human DNA is sensitive to music and its relative frequencies to the point that it can even be reprogrammed through them. In fact, by subjecting stem cells to various frequencies it has been possible to modify their natural organic function.

From the second link: "C=256 has a uniquely defined astronomical value, as a Keplerian interval in the solar system." and, in conclusion: "If we arbitrarily changed the "tuning" of the solar system in a similar way, it would explode and disintegrate! God does not make mistakes: Our solar system functions very well with its proper tuning, which is uniquely coherent with C=256. This, therefore, is the only scientific tuning." The ramblings of a madman. Utter garbage.

Scientific pitch is not 432Hz. It puts A4 at 430.54Hz.

  Yep, but only using 12-TET @ C4=256Hz. A “Twelve True-Fifths Tuning” is suggested though to get the magical number, similar to violin standard tuning method.
