Music evokes strong emotions in some of us. Some of us go to irrational extremes to get a fix...
Wine Women and Song, are things worth consideration IMO.

It mostly annoys me.
No objection at all to women or wine.
The only other character that I've heard of that didn't like music was the fictional British sea captain Horatio Hornblower.

I hate it when they do that. First the formula obscures the physics, and second it is not in SI base units. Both are sins, in my eyes. It appears to be in inches and mH, rather than in meters and henries.
It's another variant of Wheeler's formula for air-core inductors. The scaling appears to be for multi-layer inductors, because it is slightly different from the one I use for single-layer inductors.

Do you have Aspergers? A couple of the most capable designers I have worked with do and are annoyed and irritated by just about any type of music.
Probably not. I just don't like annoying noises.

Well, it's a variant of a formula from the National Bureau of Standards in the 1920s. (I have a copy of the Bulletin C22 that has them.)
The usual simplified formula is
L(uH) = a**2 N**2/(9a + 10b),
where a is the mean radius of the winding, N is the number of turns, and b is the pitch, both in inches.
So suck it up, cupcake. ;)

Here's a handy program with many useful features, calculate turns, or turns per inch, inductance and more. Click on >info< at the bottom of each section to get a clue what the handy functions are. It shows Q and handles Litz wire also.

Two years ago I did an experiment comparing 5 coils with 7 to 12 turns per inch to find what the optimum turns per inch is for highest Q. I ended up winding a 6th coil with 11 turns, My data showed 10 turns per inch gave the highest Q at 1MHz. This program is in agreement with my experiment. My best 240uh coil had 10 turns of 660/46 litz on a 6.62" diameter polystyrene coil. Q measured 1400 at 1MHz and 1475 at 800kHz on my Q meter. Mikek
You dislike even Chillstep and Metal?

The correct formula is -- not needing the annoying "in inches"--
L = 1uH*(a/1")**2 . N**2 /(9.a/1" +10.b/1")
You'll thank me if one imperialist throws in feet and miles for good measure, or -- God forbid -- psi's or degrees F.
Nobody can object to a formula like that (but they'll make fun of you).

Of course in metric standard units (ISU or USI system - MKSA).
