    The Fundamental Frequency of Voice (F-0) is one of the patterns of voice evaluation, where the sound of a prolonged vowel spoken is measured by a chromatic tuner, and the result is obtained in a musical tone. We investigated the correlations of the Fundamental Frequency of Voice and the 5 sounds of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We determined the tones corresponding to the sounds related in the ancient book Ling Shu, which are Zhi (), Yu(), Gong (), Shang () and Jue (), using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test and histological slides of the following human organs: heart, kidney, pancreas, lung and liver. We also investigated the F-0 in interned patients with the following western medicine diagnosis: schizophrenia, kidney failure and hepatic failure. The results are discussed, and suggest that the Fo can be used as a complementary diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
