Audio as a weapon


I would like to deviate a bit from the normal audio equipment conversation and delve into the phenomenon of the recent audio "weapon" that appears to have been deployed in Cuba upon State Department employees and now, it appears, in China. I know that very low frequency can be dreadful to listen to but anyone out there have any ideas with regard to how audio could be used as a weapon? It is not my intention to draw speculation of a political nature, I am only interested in the technical aspect of audio as a "weapon". Anyone have any thoughts?

Absolutely, quantum physics is showing that everything in the universe is energy, so on the sub-atomic level we do not find matter we find only energy. This pure energy or light is everything comprised in universe and is resonating at a different speeds. Everything you see or touch is vibrating at one frequency or another including yourself. As dekay's article points out Intermodulation distortion occurs when two signals having different frequencies combine to produce synthetic signals at the difference, sum, or multiples of the original frequencies. A very smart way of saying somebody has come up with sum of frequencies to damage and make a human sick...
A quick google search of "heavy metal guantanamo" will give you play lists of music used in "enhanced interrogation."
@geoffkait , thank you for pointing this out but I never mentioned mass only matter. Matter observed under a microscope is inert material but mostly made up of energy and is vibrating. The denser the matter, humans and steel walls of a embassy for ex.,the  more it will vibrate. This combined with a soundwave made to do harm was the first thing I thought about when reacting to falconquest question, but I left it out for brevity.  Obviously my segue into what I posted was much broader but it was my line of reasoning pertaining to question asked.

A photon carries zero mass at rest only, but photons are never at rest, so when a photon creates energy it has a realivistic mass that is not zero and is affected by gravity. So inside a photon field the newly discovered Higgs boson particle and it's field help give photons and other particles their mass. But this only observed by causing the Higg's field to vibrate and observing the vibrations of field not the particle itself.

@geoffkait , thank you once again for taking a interest in what I have to say. Matter is made of particles and particles are a vibration of a field, caries mass, and takes up space. Energy is the capacity to cause change and carries no mass and has capacity to do work when produced by matter. Realivistic mass or total energy is not the equivalent of rest mass, that is the inertial mass of object at rest, which is what you are stating. No new pseudo-physics are being claimed by my post...




Thank you for your insight geoffkait, If you would like to start your own thread regarding these topics I would be interested.  If you do, start a thread, and I am not posting please PM me so I can join in... I never said mass vibrates, you have.  I stated that all matter is made up of particles that are arranged in particle fields that are vibrating. Einstein has interesting views on relation of matter/energy...

@falconquest , I am done with physics debate/thread jack with geoffkait and would very much like to return to your topic  "audio as a weapon".
