The Fibonacci series appears in art, beauty and life. It is even present in music, as:

There are 13 notes in a octave. A scale is composed of 8 notes.

The 5th and 3rd notes create the basics of all chords.

13, 8, 5, 3, are number of the Fibonacci series.

Fibonacci Ratio:

Calculated Frequency: 165

Tempered Frequency: 164.82

Note in Scale: E

Musical Relationship: Fifth

When A=432: 162 (Phi)  

Octave below: 81

Octave above: 324

These calculations are derived from the table above:

=1.65         =1.64        =1.68     =1.7

=1.67         =1.63       =1.73

As we can see all the results are approximately equal to 1.6 therefore also to the golden ratio.
