Ultrasonic Weapons have a couple of previous posts. What are these people talking about? - Technology abuse?

Question

I've heard of acoustic weapons and sonic blasters which are sold to law enforcement, and reach levels of up to 145db. I don't think these other posts about ultrasonic weapons refer to this.

I have looked all over the search engines and can find no information at all apart from a couple of far fetched theories. Where is some accurate infomation about this. What device or generic category of device are these people referring? What is it made from? Is it popular? Is it illegal? Is it dangerous?.... Is it illegal to talk about if it is illegal?.... Could the police bust someone using one of these for noise pollution? :-)

Can anyone please provide me with a link where this is answered properly? Is there a wiki on this?

Any tips or advice would be really good, as I would hate to find myself if the position of yahoo member kamysadvice who made the previous post.

Thanks for the answer peter g, but what I'm referring to and trying to get some further information on is not a military device, its much smaller, and apparently quite popular. I think a narrow beam of only 130db at 1m, of ultrasonic.

Hi AbeLincolnParty, thanks for thoughtful comments. This sound a bit dangerous though. You know transducers can make ultrasound, some are specially built for this for engineering applications. Some people even have them designed for a few thousand dollars. You know sometimes if the voltage is a fraction too high, even only a couple of volts they also put out a little bit of emf. However the effects of ultrasonic weapons, are apparently only due to the ultrasound and the emf has no effect as its so mild.

Hi AbeLincolnParty, you changed your post?

Some more general information. The device I am referring too has a main frequency of about 15khz, with a bandwidth of about 3khz.

The most pervasive affects of this device are; LIGHT TO MODERATE LEVELS of headache, burning skin, nausea, palpitations, and i guess it would be reasonable to say a low level of disorientation.

Some general names used to refer to this device are; wave box, tone box, box, music box, sound box, sonic blaster, blaster, wave generator. Maybe you can suggest some other names you may have heard people mention?

Legality; I have heard that acoustic weapons are commonly illegal in many states of many countries (check your states weapons prohibition act), however this smaller device is not often policed. It would be good to discuss this point further. I personally rang the main number for police in my state and described the device, and said I had a neighbour aiming one at my apartment, the reply I received was that they have no current policy in relation to such a device, and suggested I put in a noise pollution complaint. Has anyone here had a similar experience? (a tip; if your going to make a similar phone call only mention the obvious aspect about this device; eg. "a piercing beam of high pitched noise which is uncomfortable"; otherwise the police may think your nuts).

Also, I please would like to add one other question. If you are finding the noise pollution from this device aggravating (it is affecting your ability to sleep/ study etc), and you are finding it difficult to get any action under current noise pollution laws what can you suggest? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Also, if anyone can suggest a link on the web where this topic is treated in a reasonable, open, and productive way, where reasonable legal alternatives are presented, this would be really good. Thanks for any suggestions, ill try an keep this thread open for as long as possible.

Also one other consideration. Consider a person from a poor neighbourhood, working hard just to survive. What happens if someone moves in next door with a device like this. Consider they may not have access to/ cannot afford/ are not technically savvy enough, to build a device like this. Is there any effective legal protection under the law. What is the POTENTIAL for abuse of human rights/ civil rights/ civil liberties?

Answer 1

The Germans did some research on this near the end of WW2. The basic Idea was to make ultrasonic emitters capable of destroying structures using soundwaves. Fortunately -just like their atomic program. They did not have sufficient research before the end of the war

Answer 2

Usually there are two types of people that ask about this subject, perpetrators who are doing counterintelligence and misinformation tactics and victims.

These devices are used for risk management purposes and to further the economic desires of the corrupt psych pharmaceutical industry.

Being ultrasound, the energy passes through emf barriers such as lead. How the energy is generated to get past the usual limitations of distance is open to conjecture to those who do not posses the technology.

The capitol hill shooter made references that he was being attacked by "radio waves", whether mentally ill or not, I believe him.
