Does the military use infrasound?
Specialty devices that are able to project loud sounds over very long ranges were first used by the U.S. military in Iraq in 2004. Since the 1990s, the U.S. military and private companies have also researched infrasonic devices that could have effects at very low frequencies that might not be heard by the human ear.

Can ultrasonic waves hurt you?
There are two ways ultrasound can harm humans. The first is that it can heat up cells in the body, causing damage. The second is that ultrasound can cause “cavitation”. Any sound gets less powerful the further you are from a loudspeaker, but ultrasound loses power far more quickly with distance than audible sounds do.
Can you protect yourself from an LRAD?
LRADs are designed to produce VERY loud sound, and loud sound can cause significant damage to our auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) systems. It is not possible to fully protect yourself from potential hearing damage from an LRAD! (The only way to protect civilians from LRADs is to not use LRADs.)
How much is an LRAD?
The LRAD ranges in price from $5,000 for a basic handheld model to its most expensive model that sells for between $100,000 and $190,000.
Can you block sound waves?
There is therefore need for a means or technique to reduce or block it. Since they are waves, sound energy can refract, reflect and maneuver around edges. Although they cannot be completely blocked, they can be greatly reduced.
