If anyone's interested in more about this topic, Adam Neely did interesting videos about this: https://youtu.be/ghUs-84NAAU and https://youtu.be/EKTZ151yLnk (beware, starts with satire)

Edit: I watched the second one again, and it actually gives some reason why 432Hz may be preferred in some way in this test.

In the second video he gives a very interesting reason:

Given 440 is what we’re all used to on an everyday basis, the effects of the OP experiment might be explained by the “novelty” of how 432 sounds to us.

The other reason given was "lower = warmer" perception. It needs a confirmation on its own, but still something to keep in mind.
