- This may be Urban Legend, but I vaguely remember a story of some police force
- (the French CRS comes to mind) that thought of using a 'sound cannon' to blast
- 7Hz - 15Hz at rioters, to the effect that their guts would resonate and
- they would be too busy chucking their lunch to be lobbing Molotovs at the
- police.
- I know that standing too near the Bass bins at a rock concert where there
- is a lot of sub-sonic stuff can really hit you where you live :-)
- I wonder if sci.med has anything to say on this?
