Interesting stuff Carlo.

I did want to rehear the 'music' used to intimidate the 'hostages' in the Waco seige. This 'music' sounded line electroacoustic drones with the sounds of chickens have their neck's broken (or Chicken's being harassed by ferrets!). All very disturbing, but oddly interesting!

Did I want to know all that ... it's sad, and even sadder to see discussions about the subject going into the direction of finding even better methods for torture.

I posted the link because it seemed absolutely outrageous and wanted people to realize that.
It's hard to deal with something like that.

Interesting topic/article.

While i of course dont condone torture or weapons, i gotta say, i'd MUCH rather be shot with the beam of infrasound than anything else, like the bean bag guns (from what i can imagine).

Back in the 90's i was a bit of a punk brat, and must admit i've used sound to irritate people. A roommate came up with sequencing a single low freq (15hz?) to turn on for 15 min, off for 5, repeat. You couldnt hear it in our room, but everwhere around the block the hum was present. We let this go on for under 3 days. Noone thought it was us, they thought it was a machine on a construction site or something, but folks were definitely irritated! We thought of it more as a prank, but looking back, we were just being jerks.
