Every Three Minutes

Okay, few things we've discovered: The tempo of the piece (220) is exactly, half of 440 which is the fundamental frequency for A. 440hz has been the standard frequency  The average fundamental frequency for the entire song is 123.558, rounding up that is 124. We've noticed that if you play the song at tempo, every three minutes is the exact start of a new note. We checked this all the way up till 30 minutes. The notes are as follows. F4 C5 B4 G3 D4 F4 A4 F5 C6. We suspect the first four may be the only ones that actually matter seeing as time signature is 4/4 but we went on just in case. We will probably check a bit past 30 minutes but this is where we are so far. We have an audio file of a sine wave playing the song, and a sine wave for the first four notes that played at the three minute intervals. We know for a fact that the song had to have been specifically for notes to start every three minutes, because the song structure is so strange that it can't really serve any other purpose. If the meaning isn't in the notes themselves, then the solution probably has something to do with the note intervals. We're going to try looking at the groupings of notes and see what patterns emerge. The this three minute note theory is likely the best lead we have yet. Will update whenever we figure something else out, its possible me and my buddies have gone down the wrong rabbit hole, so if anyone else has any ideas just let us know and we will give them a shot. We have mapped the whole piece onto a music editing software that has allowed us to do all this and we have it saved so we can come back and look at it any time I'm at his house. We also have a recording of what the song sounds like when we run it through the software with only a sine wave playing it and it sounds pretty interesting. I'll try to upload it somewhere and link it to this thread at some point so you all can hear it. I'll also do the same for the first 4 notes of the three minutes intervals.
Update: We went on to 36:00 and the song began again, meaning that the following pattern of notes loops every 36 minutes with one note every 3 minutes exactly: F4 C5 B4 G3 D4 F4 A4 F5 C6 F5 D5 We also noticed that the first 9 notes formed an even 4 measures that can be looped.

The 36 minutes thing is really good! 9 lines, 4 bars, 4 notes, = 144 beats per song. 3 minutes @ 220 bpm = 660 beats 660*12 / 144 = 55 reps through the song @ 36 minutes, but further, it ONLY repeats a whole number of reps through the song when searching by 12, 24, etc. Searching for other patterns (2,3,4,6) doesn't seem to reveal anything, and if GM made this personally I would be interested in knowing why it works out that way, once this has been solved. :) The only thing is that I would include the 12th note: d4, in your consideration.
aren't coordinates X by X minutes?
Every Three Minutes could also be an ETM or Easy Tuning Mode. I doubt that means anything but something I noticed while trying to crack the code lol
I guess if ETM was a thing we could start it on 220 and take note on which channel it stops on every three minutes. Again a bit of a stretch but worth looking into maybe
also just for fun:&nbsp;<a href="https://vocaroo.com/i/s1Ig9c295aKQ" rel="nofollow">https://vocaroo.com/i/s1Ig9c295aKQ</a>
Wow that's pretty crazy, the song. Neat, thanks so much. :)

lol if ETM is the solution that'd be pretty funny. It's a great idea. :)
