Sonic Weapon

A sonic weapon, also known as screamers and various other nicknames, are energy weapons which utilize the power of sound waves.

Overview
Sonic weapons use sound frequencies to either cause extreme discomfort or pain to the victim with the intent of either killing them or forcing them to move away from the source, making it a popular method for dispersing large crowds. Frequencies can also be used to cause a target's eyeballs to vibrate, distorting their vision. Their use in most armies is limited due to the use of auditory dampers in many suits of power armor, negating most of the effects of sonic weaponry. Nevertheless, sonic weapons are still popular in most law enforcement agencies and in military operations targeting groups who do not possess proper protection.

Components taken from sonic weaponry would be used to develop devices such as the acoustic locator, a Galderan device which utilizes echolocation to detect invisible entities. Components were also used to create the voice projector, a helmet component used to control the volume of one's voice.
