Sound as Weaponry

media type="youtube" key="17tqXgvCN0E" height="390" width="480" - Extremely high frequency sound waves can destroy the eardrums of a target and incapacitate him/her. - This weapon technique has been used in crowd control and terrorist (and counter-terrorist) acts. - For example, G20 authorities used this technique to disperse protesters during the 2009 summit in Pittsburgh. (see video below)

- Certain shops in the UK have used this technique to discourage teenagers from lingering around shopfronts, using the 'mosquito' tone that allegedly only non-adult persons can hear. - The only known military weapon that uses sound was developed by the German army in the latter stage of World War II. It was called 'Luftkanon', and could emit sound waves of high enough frequency at short distances to kill a human being.

How it dangers us: -Humans cannot hear low frequency noises, but it does harm to our bodies. For example, sickness; it troubles and unbalances our body tissues and organs -when the energy levels rise, the noise may damage our bodies (subsonic shock wave)
