  Sonic weaponry
Sonic weapons are a type of non-lethal weaponry currently in limited use and extensive research and development by military and police forces.
Sonic weapons are hypothetical weapons in science fiction that use sound waves as an attack form.
Sonic stunners project a high-pitch, high-frequency wave of sound that can shatter the eardrums of its targets and cause severe pain or disorientation.

Some sonic weapons are currently in limited use or in research and development by military and police forces.
Although many real sonic and ultrasonic weapons are described as "non-lethal", they can still kill under certain conditions, so the term "less-lethal" has been suggested for the sake of accuracy.
Sonic bullets are being planned to be used in anti-hijack packs in planes: see http://www.newscientist.com.cob-web.org:8888/article.ns?id=dn1564.

 In a word, Superiority
The Geonosians have highly developed sonic weaponry, utilizing it in sonic mines, sonic blasters, and sonic cannon artillery.
A minor inconvenience with sonic weaponry is the fact that it is ineffective in space and void, and are rendered very weak in low density atmospheres.
Geonosian sonic blasters and cannons differ from the common galactic sonic weapons in that they encapsulate the sonic energy in a shimmering plasmatic sphere.

Hyper-C is associated in particular with "sonic intelligence weaponry", and has taken credit for many recent examples of info-terrorism, which have been conventionally but erroneously labeled as musical recordings.
The aspirational and representational logics of "protest music" have given way to a technics of direct action, in which sound is used as a "neuronic trigger." Once again, agents should not imagine that there is anything metaphorical about this.
Hyper C sonic weaponry is stealthy but highly effective; it attacks the organism very directly, opening up defensive membranes to an immersive "acoustic space." The abstraction of sound made possible by new technologies enables a hitherto unimaginable distribution of "the secret coded rhythm patterns" Hyper-C is dedicated to spreading.

Unlike laser weaponry, which fires concentrated beams of energy, a blast from a plasma weapon does a lot of 'splash' damage.
Sonic weapons are basically comprised of a sound source, resonating chambers and a directing device of sorts.
A problem with sonic weapons lies in the fact that there is very little that can stop a wall of infrasound, thus over-penetration and friendly-fire are major concerns when it comes to sonic weaponry.

The main difficulty lies in propagating the sound waves over distance to their intended target, a possibility hampered by the tendency of low-frequency waves to expand in all directions, thus losing focused power, and of high-frequency waves to enter a “shocked state” where energy is lost to the air.
Noises ranging from the sounds of clocks ticking to the screams of dying rabbits have been alleged to have been utilised in the sonic assault on the compound.
The belief that the Nazis developed sonic technologies appears to be largely unsubstantiated, part of a modern reflex to attribute sinister research or technology to the Nazis on no more grounds than that it is ‘the kind-of-thing-Nazi-scientists-would-do’… along with flying UFOs into the Hollow Earth.
