new propulsion concept has been developed based on a proposed resonance between coherent, pulsed electromagnetic wave forms and gravitational wave forms (or space-time metrics). Using this concept, a spacecraft "propulsion" system potentially capable of galactic and inter-galactic travel without prohibitive "travel times" has been designed. The "propulsion" system utilizes recent research associated with magnetic field line merging, hydromagnetic wave effects, free-electron lasers, laser generation of megagauss fields, and special structural and containment metals. Research required to determine potential, field resonance characteristics and to evaluate various aspects of the spacecraft "propulsion" design is described.

not likely, given the amount of power they would need and uh..they are usually silent (or slight buzzing sound)
Also completely useless in space, where there is no sound. No one can hear you scream.

Well, the frequency needed is likely not audible to humans anyway. Power... yeah, unless they have free energy..
Useless in space? Not at all, as it is the resonance OF THE OBJECT. Not the air around it.

Cool idea, but how can a "soundwave" (compression and rarifaction) get from point A to point B without air? It's the pushing and pulling against air that is the vibration that we hear and feel (or, if it's too low or too high, we don't feel or hear).
Not trying to pooh-pooh your idea, I just don't grasp it, I guess.
