According to the manuscripts, it is scientifically verified that these sounds have a remarkable and positive impact on human body and mind. But, still extensive research needs to be conducted to prove the impact of sacred sounds, especially "OM", on our significant parts of the body, for example, the heart. This research paper does the frequency analysis of "OM" sound with its chanting performed with the three basic sounds of “A” “U” and “M”. There are varied ways of chanting the sound "OM" or “AUM”, according to the ancient literature like the Mandukya Upanishda. Therefore it's typically confusing for a layman to seek out the precise or ideal method of chanting the sound "OM" or “AUM”. So, in this research work more focus is on variety of ways of chanting "AUM" which can offer the utmost health benefits. The tools and strategies to be used are; Spectral Analysis, Audio Analysis, computing Techniques. Here sacred sound AUM is recorded and its scientific analysis is carried out. The female subject is chanting AUM for 11 times and the sound file is of 7 minutes duration. The sampling rate is chosen as 44100. The work reviewed is mainly divided into some major steps such as basic understanding, health benefits, and Spectral analysis of sound AUM.
