Ur the man! Using this for a hackathon now!

why does it stop at c8?

Thanks!
Source possibly comes from https://pages.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html.

@aluminumChassis because its just using a formula anyway, to get c9 just do c8 * 2 same for any other note, ie: for A10 multiply A9 by 2

var NOTES = ["C", "C#", "D", "Eb", "E", "F", "F#", "G", "G#", "A", "Bb", "B"];
function getPitch(note, octave) {
    // ("A", 4) => 440
    // multiply by 2^(1/12) N times to get N steps higher
    var step = NOTES.indexOf(note);
    var power = Math.pow(2, (octave * 12 + step - 57)/12);
    var pitch = 440 * power;
    return pitch;
}

Found this too late 🤣 , love @bblack 's function to get the frequencies dynamically, but as I already did the work, here's an object notation of the same, might come handy to someone:

const map = {
    'C': [16.35, 32.70, 65.41, 130.8, 261.6, 523.3, 1047, 2093, 4186],
    'C#': [17.32, 34.65, 69.3, 138.6, 277.2, 554.4, 1109, 2217, 4435],
    'D': [18.35, 36.71, 73.42, 146.8, 293.7, 587.3, 1175, 2349, 4699],
    'Eb': [19.45, 38.89, 77.78, 155.6, 311.1, 622.3, 1245, 2489, 4978],
    'E': [20.6, 41.2, 82.41, 164.8, 329.6, 659.3, 1319, 2637, 5274],
    'F': [21.83, 43.65, 87.31, 174.6, 349.2, 698.5, 1397, 2794, 5588],
    'F#': [23.12, 46.25, 92.5, 185, 370, 740, 1480, 2960, 5920],
    'G': [24.5, 49, 98, 196, 392, 784, 1568, 3136, 6272],
    'G#': [25.96, 51.91, 103.8, 207.7, 415.3, 830.6, 1661, 3322, 6645],
    'A': [27.5, 55, 110, 220, 440, 880, 1760, 3520, 7040],
    'Bb': [29.14, 58.27, 116.5, 233.1, 466.2, 932.3, 1865, 3729, 7459],
    'B': [30.87, 61.74, 123.5, 246.9, 493.9, 987.8, 1976, 3951, 7902],
};
