Soundwaves can kill you

[StolenWindows]

>A typical sonic boom from an aircraft in normal flight is not powerful enough to kill a person, though extremely intense sonic booms, such as from a very low-flying supersonic jet, could potentially cause severe injuries or fatalities, and are therefore restricted over populated areas.

When Havana Syndrome headlines splashed across the front pages of newspapers worldwide one of the most compelling theories was that US spies were victims of a sonic attack.

Only a year after the US Embassy in Havana reopened in 2015, staff in Cuba were complaining about headaches, dizziness, and brain fog. Were they being targeted by an acoustic weapon? The American military were already reportedly exploring microwave ray guns that could beam invisible booms and spoken words into a person’s head as a way to control crowds so the idea seemed plausible.

Sonic weapons have been around for decades and their chilling history has often involved secret operations and spies. But could they actually cause the brain injuries associated with Havana Syndrome?

Sonic weapons‍
‍
The dark history of sound dates back to WWII and Albert Speer, the Nazi minister of armaments and a close ally of Hitler. Speer was reportedly designing an ‘acoustic cannon’. The idea was to use reflector dishes to narrow the sound into a targeted beam which could cause death within a 100-yard radius but there’s no evidence the cannon was ever built.

Sound has frequently been used post WWII to produce a 'bad vibe', however - whether expressing a threat or creating an ambiance of fear or dread, according to historian Steve Goodman, author of Sonic Warfare.

Operation Wandering Soul ‍
During the Vietnam War, the US military launched a top-secret psychological campaign against the Viet Cong, blaring ‘haunting sounds’ said to represent the souls of the dead. Operation Wandering Soul inspired the memorable scene in Apocalypse Now where attack helicopters blast Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries.

When CIA spy and Panama strongman Manuel Noriega barricaded himself in Panama’s Vatican Embassy in 1989 to avoid drug trafficking charges, the US Army blasted him with Linda Rondstadt’s You’re No Good and The Clash’s I Fought The Law, presumably to prevent him from sleeping and concentrating.

The FBI & sonic weapons
The FBI used ‘psychoacoustic correction’ at the Branch Davidians’ compound in Waco, Texas during the infamous 1993 siege. At night, David Koresh’s compound was flooded with light and high-volume music blended with sound effects - screeching seagulls, sirens, and dentist drills among them.

A 2014 US Senate Intelligence Committee reported on the CIA’s use of ‘sound disorientation techniques’, including an instance where the Agency blared the Blues Brothers' Rawhide’ at Guantanamo detainees. Other news reports suggest detainees listened to music containing subliminal messages to persuade them to reveal al-Qaeda’s secrets.

Sound bombs
In February 2004, the American Technology Corporation signed a $1m deal to provide long-range acoustic devices (LRADs) to US Marines in Iraq.

The Arab News described the LRADs as giant loudspeakers that seem to “borrow some of its technology from modern pest-control devices that shoo away mice and other pesky critters with the help of ultrasound”. The devices delivered a 145-decibel tone that could cause splitting headaches, panic, and in some cases hearing loss.

Outside of war zones, LRADs were used in the US after Hurricane Katrina to repel looters, Goodman said.

The Scream‍
Controversially, Israel's IDF military police corps deployed a device known as ‘The Scream’ after violent clashes in 2005 by Palestinians and Jewish sympathizers.

"Protesters covered their ears and grabbed their heads, overcome by dizziness and nausea," CBS said in a report. "The vehicle-mounted device began sending out bursts of audible, but not loud, sound at intervals of about 10 seconds."

US police forces have also adapted versions of LRADs to disperse crowds, including during protests in Pittsburgh outside the G-20 conference in 2009.

Israel’s ‘Thunder Generator’, introduced in 2010, is so loud it could be deadly at close range, Wired reported, although it could also be used as a "good way of keeping stone-throwing youths out of a sensitive area without using excessive force".

Sonic Weapons & Havana Syndrome
So is Havana Syndrome caused by a sonic attack? There’s no hard evidence to back up the theory and no weapon has been found. Some believe Havana Syndrome may actually be a psychological illness, but that doesn’t explain how victims have been diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms without having had a concussion.

In 2017, the US State Department said officials were possible targets of an ‘acoustic attack’ and at least two people had "such serious health problems they needed to be brought back to the US for treatment".

At the time of the State Department briefing, speculation leaned more toward a sonic device or a hypersonic device, but opinion later shifted to focus more on the possibility of a highly directed long-distance ‘microwave’ weapon, Dr. James Giordano told SPYSCAPE’s True Spies podcast.

Mysterious sounds
To make matters even more complicated, not every one of the hundreds of Havana Syndrome sufferers has had the same experience.

In an interview with The New York Times, security engineer Mark Lenzi described the sounds he heard as marbles rolling around a metal funnel. Other sufferers described a disturbing cricket-like noise. Some heard a sudden loud noise or whirring before the onset of symptoms including loss of balance and splitting headaches. Others heard nothing.

There's also no one-size-fits-all description to take into account all of the different types of sonic weapons in existence. So far, there is also no proof that weapons were deployed to harm North American diplomats and spies, let alone who - or what - may be behind the mysterious syndrome.

When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. (Joshua 6:20)



>Resonant Frequency Destruction (also known as "Acoustic Bioresonance")
>Theory: Every cell type, including cancer, has a specific vibrational frequency.
>If you match it and amplify it, you can:
>Disrupt the cell membrane
>Interfere with metabolic or replication processes
>Cause cell lysis (bursting)

>High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
>How it works: Focused ultrasound heats and destroys cancerous tissue non-invasively.
>Used for: Prostate, liver, breast, and some brain tumors.
>Bonus: No surgical incision required.


>Low-Frequency Ultrasound + Microbubbles
>How it helps: Enhances drug delivery to tumors by disrupting cell membranes or increasing vascular permeability.


>Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT)
>Mechanism: Uses a sensitizing agent (like in photodynamic therapy) + ultrasound to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), killing cancer cells.
>Promise: Targeted, low toxicity.

>Viruses and Sound Waves
>This is newer and more experimental, but theories include:
>Ultrasonic inactivation: Certain frequencies may disrupt the protein capsid or RNA envelope of viruses.
>Resonant frequency targeting: Hypothetically, every virus has a mechanical resonance; hitting it could destroy the structure — though proving this in practice is difficult.
>Some labs have tested this against coronaviruses, HIV, and flu with mixed results.

>Awakening People in Comas (Ultrasound to the Thalamus)
>UCLA 2016 & 2020: A man in a minimally conscious state was partially awakened after focused ultrasound was used to stimulate his thalamus.
>The device: a low-intensity focused ultrasound pulse generator.
>After treatment:
>He began to respond to questions
>Made deliberate movements
>Regained some verbal function

>This technique is now being explored for:
>Vegetative and comatose patients
>Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
>Stroke rehabilitation


>Why the thalamus?
>It’s the central switchboard of consciousness. Stimulating it (gently) helps re-engage cortical networks.

>Soundwaves to Repair Brain Damage
>Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) is being tested to:
>Reduce neuroinflammation
>Promote neurogenesis (new brain cells)
>Enhance blood–brain barrier permeability (for drug delivery)
>Stimulate synaptic plasticity — critical for learning and recovery

>Specific applications:
>Alzheimer’s disease – clear amyloid plaques using ultrasound + microbubbles
>Parkinson’s and epilepsy – modulate dysfunctional circuits
>Stroke recovery – rewire damaged neural connections

>Even Audible Sound Can Affect Brain States
>Binaural beats and healing frequencies (like 528 Hz, 432 Hz) show:
>Improved cognition
>Enhanced mood
>Reduced trauma responses (e.g. PTSD, anxiety)

>There's even early work on:
>Music therapy for coma patients showing measurable EEG engagement
>Solfeggio frequencies being used in trauma treatment environments

Acoustic couplers were used in the 1960s-80s for internet access before we had real modems. They were only 300 bits per second. But these wouldn't work now, because we don't use analog POTS phoneline infrastructure anymore. But it does prove how sound (phonons) can be harnessed as a form of energy (in this case, for accessing the internet). It's similar to network phreaking (like that scene from the 2003 movie "The Core" where they used network phreaking by whistling a certain tone after calling up a certain number and messing with the battery to get free calls.

Soundwave doesn't need to kill you. He can just eject two festively colored midgets from his chest and watch them beat you to death.

Jokes aside though this is something I think about sometimes. Not the midgets, but the actual act of sonic force being able to just rip you apart.

This is a very acoustic autistic thread but I'll use it as an excuse to share this device too, which I only recently discovered is a thing that exists:

A sound-powered telephone is a communication device that allows users to talk to each other with the use of a handset, similar to a conventional telephone, but without the use of external power. This technology has been used since at least 1944[1] for both routine and emergency communication on ships to allow communication between key locations on a vessel if power is unavailable.[2] A sound-powered phone circuit can have two or more stations on the same circuit. The circuit is always live, thus a user begins speaking rather than dialing another station. Sound-powered telephones are not normally connected to a telephone exchange

I don't know if soundwaves can kill you, but every time I hear anything by Counting Crows I get physically ill, so I'm sure it's possible.

Ultrasoundwaves can make someone 'tarded. I didn't read the thing but I'm assuming that's what it's about.

It can also "create small pockets of gas in bodily fluids or tissues. The long-term consequence of these effects are unknown"
