Are sonic-based weapons really that prevalent now? I didn't realise you could even make one so discrete that only a target gets the full blast and not half the neighbourhood around you.
Supposedly with the ones in Cuba scientists have ruled out sonic weapons
If this is another sonic attack then I'm going to assume that new tech / weapons are floating out there that don't have good countermeasures. It would be in the best interest of the U.S. not to have general knowledge of such systems until plans are in place to deal with them.
I take it earmuffs won't protect you?
Sound waves are pressure waves. Earmuffs might protect your inner-ear from excessive damage, but the pressure waves still interact with your body's tissues, which is why there's any interest in sonic weaponry at all.
Would technology similar to noise-canceling earphones debuff it? But like a helmet full of the things.
Weaponized dubstep
They're still waves. It would cancel it out where the waves intersect at the right places, but it wouldn't in others. It would reduce, but not entirely prevent, the pressure waves from affecting you, and it's not just your head that's an area of concern. Sonic weapons are also sometimes intended to induce nausea because, again, pressure waves interacting with your squishy bits.
Wait, so basically a weaponized brown note?
Kinda-sorta, yeah.
You should check out parametric speakers, they're cool.
this post reminded me of a certain DJ Dong
weaponized brain melt
noise marines when?

We have essentially no idea what this weapon is at all, who's deploying it, or how it works other than the fact that it causes traumatic brain injury.
