Since it is certainly about frequency, pitch, and volume, the effects must differ if any of these are different, wouldn't it ? I'm doing the sounds as per Mantak Chia, in which approach all of the sounds comes clearly accross as based on Western phonetic sounds. As described in the book, and in the CD that comes along with the book in which a Western guy does it. But then, from the Chinese Health Qigong Association, the sounds are more akin to the Chinese phonetics. Especially more from the full version of the video (youtube) since they go into details for each sound.
For instance, the 呵 sound for the heart. In Chia, this is 'Haaaw' while 呵 is 'he1' in Chinese (as shown by CHQA) which is a substantial difference if resonating at a certain frequency using a certain tone specific for an organ is concerned.
The theory behind this is quite interesting, with organs holding emotions and the need to release heat by 'vibrating' the fascia enveloping each organ.
In any case it is a nice exercise to do to end the day.
