The trouble is that Humans have shown with every major discovery/invention that thay are not really ready for that discovery/invention as all they ever seem to use it for is destruction and weapons!
Or porn. Mankind seems good at making use of new tech for porn.

I'm feeling pretty negative about this technology, more due to the people in power at the moment, we need a radically more intelligent, functional, peaceful society before I think we could make proper use of this technology, to me, it is evident in the simple fact that everyone involved seemed to be focused on the 'sound bullets' potential as a weapon, journalists & inventors alike.

All this money and resources spend on by us.... to keep us obedient.... how pathetic it is, when we spend millions on R&D on how to keep ourselves in prison! Maybe... just maybe that amount of resources could have been spend on say... help third world countries, help our current economy by introducing new fields to work in... improve our current life style.. etc....
When will the humanity learn.... when....
In the mid-1990s the press reported the existence of the Squawk Box as a military weapon.
It supposedly emitted high-intensity and high-frequency sounds of 16,000Hz and 16,002Hz.
These close frequencies then interfered with each other to produce a devastating and incapacitating 2Hz infrasound tone.
But it was later admitted that the "weapon" was a hoax, and was just some "disco gear" mounted on armoured personnel carriers.
There are known effects of infrasound, depending on how loud the sound is — vibration of the chest wall, changes in respiratory rhythm, sensation of gagging, vibration of the visual fields and so on.
It's well known that infrasound of 4–6HZ will make the contents of the chest and abdomen vibrate in sympathy, while 3–6Hz will interfere with the normal motility of the stomach.
Infrasound lower than 2Hz will make your whole body move as a single unit1 in resonance with the sound.
