The military version is a 45-pound, dish-shaped device that can direct a high-pitched, piercing tone with a tight beam. Neither the LRAD's operators or others in the immediate area are affected.
Neato. I want one. I bet it would work great to clear my neighborhood park of teenagers after dark.

I'm thinking a 50 cal sniper rile, would have been more effective.

"It can be as loud as about 150 decibels"Going from a complete vacuum to double atmospheric pressure is well below 150 decibels. The only known sound louder than this is measured in the exhaust of a shuttle launch where the pressure is higher than atmospheric. I wonder what other facts in the article are wrong?

Sonic Weapon?

I would like one to clear the deer and the racoons out of my back yard. Then to blast the dogs in the neighborhood who bark for the fun of it.

There not terrorists!!!!! They are Pirates, maybe hoologans but not islamic terrorists!!! /sarcasm
To: ElkGroveDan
I guess that sonic beam would be ok to use while the real weapons are being passed out to the crew.

Yeah - really! That thing has to cost some major $cratch -
unless there is a bigger piracy/teror problem than we are lead to understand.
