How effective can sound weapons be, how do they compare to explosive weapons or bullets, is there anything sonic burst weapons cannot or can do that conventional fire weapons or bullet weapons or explosive weapons cannot or can do?
Can you make a noise weapon at home, or does it require precision engineering in a factory like with nukes?
Sound is a pressure wave… explosions make sounds for this reason. Are you asking if it is possible to subtract the heat? That’s stupid. Heat (more specifically the abrupt production of heat) is what created the differential in air pressure, which the “wave” seeks to normalize.
This is also why high pressure weather systems exist (the sun’s energy be absorbed unequally). And this is why we have wind.
Yeah what I mean was like firing sonic bursts, like directed sonic bursts, I dunno I guess I didn't put much thought into this post.
Way I see it, it'd be a great way to save ammunition if you just fire sonic noise bursts, I don't know if that can be expended or exhausted.
Doesn't a sonic wave thing gun exist and gets used for police crowd control during riots, or does that work with microwaves?
Yeah it does, but it seems only to work to suppress riots safely and effectively, could a sonic boom weapon be used to tear people apart, to cause massive explosive damage without wasting any explosive chemicals or any resources whatsoever?
It seems like as soon as that becomes a possibility, no one will ever need to use explosives again.
I mean considering that submarines can use their sonar on full blast to liquidate the organs of potential enemy divers near them I'd don't see why such a weapon cannot be developed. The proplems that I see though are that 1. Cost both to manufacture and to operate and 2. How do you protect friendlies and yourself from such a weapon, assuming you're not in some big frick-off metal cylinder.
How do you want to put this much energy into the soundwave without destroying your emitter?
You could use such a device as a '' grenade'' although as I said on the reply above yours, cost
Reinforced steel?

This is part of the weirding way that we will teach you. Some thoughts have a certain sound, that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs. We will kill until no Harkonnen breathes Arrakeen air.

THIS QUIET OFFENDS SLAANESH!!!
why don't EC have their own codex yet
this is an outrage
a sonic burst to burst eardrums won't work because of earpro. littering/airdropping thousands of super loud disposable alarms (like a reinforced fire alarm stuck on) that have to be found and destroyed to stop could frick with your enemies tho.
How powerful does a sonic burst have to be to physically injure someone where it doesn't matter if they wear ear protection or not because bits and pieces of them are strewn about the environment.
Something like a submarine sonar times 10 at least since it attenuates much more in air
unfortunately humans are very stretchy and it would be very hard to make it consistently lethal. it would have to be powerful enough to tear the tissue away from weak membrane and rupture blood vessels. scrambling some brains isn't lethal or realistic.
Using the basic method of a speaker to emit sonic waves, a coil/cone moves back and forth, physically moving the air. the back and forth rate is frequency, and how far it moves back and forth affect volume, or amplitude.
to create a sound wave that is lethal with a speaker, the coil would have to accelerate and decelerate to speeds much higher than the speed of sound, at a much longer distance than the few mm of a regular speaker, the power source would have to be a hydroelectric dam, etc.
it would tear itself apart.
Ahh, fair enough.
Free space SPL from a standard electrodynamic transducer is proportionate to acceleration, not velocity or displacement. Has a relation of inverse first power and inverse square with velocity and displacement respectively. It is one of the more unintuitive results of acoustics. You can sort of convince yourself of this fact from Newton's Second Law of Motion.
But, even a large cone loudspeaker will be less than 10% efficient. Coupling a cone transducer to a horn essentially works as an acoustical lever and increases efficiency. These need to be very large if you intend to cover more and more frequency range.
>physical damage
I figure it would be more practical to attack the inner ear directly than rely on destructive resonances of tissues and ligaments. Human flesh is too soft and doesn't retain energy well enough.
Low-frequency attenuation will be limited by bone conduction. Earplugs and muffs can't block out bass if it goes straight through the skull.
