Acoustic weapons, also known as long-range acoustic devices and sound cannons
Description
Acoustic weapons, also known as long-range acoustic devices and sound cannons, are devices that
deliver very loud sounds over long distances. This technology is used for crowd-control purposes by
emitting loud and painful levels of noise that may lead to significant harm to the ears, potentially causing
hearing loss. Serious questions remain about the safety and efficacy of acoustic weapons in
crowd-control contexts.
