Frequency of C

Can anyone tell me the frequency in hertz of the C just above the break? It resonates with my hearing aid and I want to see if the tech can tune the effect out. Thanks.

If you're talking about concert pitch, GBK is right,but if you're talking about Bb clarinet's c(written c) ,it is 466.16 Hz.

Thanks for that. I'm seeing the tech later this morning. It will be good if she can get rid of the effect, it makes a buzz in my hearing aid whenever I play that note.

How else are you going to know if you're in tune then?

Seriously, it's very interesting. I figure most anything has a resonance frequency, but it certainly is an unfortunate coincidence that yours interferes with your hearing aid.
