Not nearer--exactly! 440 A is the standard pitch in the Western world,
though orchestra often shade this up a bit. Middle C is around 261.6 Hz

At middle C, 440Hz, you're down to under 20 centimetres. At 1kHz which is
about at the center of our most acute hearing, it's only 8-9 centimetres.
Just for the record 440Hz is nearer to the A above middle C, and the centre
of our most acute hearing is generally reckoned to be around 3 kHz.
