Audio as a weapon


I would like to deviate a bit from the normal audio equipment conversation and delve into the phenomenon of the recent audio "weapon" that appears to have been deployed in Cuba upon State Department employees and now, it appears, in China. I know that very low frequency can be dreadful to listen to but anyone out there have any ideas with regard to how audio could be used as a weapon? It is not my intention to draw speculation of a political nature, I am only interested in the technical aspect of audio as a "weapon". Anyone have any thoughts?

Ah, a self taught theoretical physicist. Good on ya, mate! 🙄

One does not have to wear an earned label (degree, doctorate, etc) to be able to analyze. But it does help.

If only people with earned degrees and doctorates can comment or be allowed to think and express, then it’s possible to consider it as some form of dictatorial religion, at it’s most ugly. "The council speaks for all of you", kind of insanity.

OTOH, those who don’t understand it can also make a mess of things when they try and express via whatever means they may employ.

The solution is not evident, in any event. Humanity meanders, I guess you could say.
The death of having/being perfect order ...and the death of unmitigated chaos where coherence of any kind cannot emerge. Both are utterly useless for the idea and expression of life.

Meandering in a soup of ordered individuality ..which is pretty well all we’ve got that keeps us alive and moving.

"Music is the same. All the fantasy you want - But with order."
Music is important to humanity. Fundamental in fact. One informs the other. Which is why manipulation of the music generas can be so effective. Akin to interrupting the ego loop.


Well constructed logic can look like poetry.

But, more importantly, I managed to park Geoff’s mouth.

Do I get some sort of Agon Kewpie Doll award for that?

@geoffkait , thank you for pointing this out but I never mentioned mass only matter. Matter observed under a microscope is inert material but mostly made up of energy and is vibrating. The denser the matter, humans and steel walls of a embassy for ex.,the  more it will vibrate. This combined with a soundwave made to do harm was the first thing I thought about when reacting to falconquest question, but I left it out for brevity.  Obviously my segue into what I posted was much broader but it was my line of reasoning pertaining to question asked.

A photon carries zero mass at rest only, but photons are never at rest, so when a photon creates energy it has a realivistic mass that is not zero and is affected by gravity. So inside a photon field the newly discovered Higgs boson particle and it's field help give photons and other particles their mass. But this only observed by causing the Higg's field to vibrate and observing the vibrations of field not the particle itself.
