#1 Infrasound: Very low-frequency sound that can travel long distances and easily penetrate most buildings and vehicles. Long-wavelength sound creates biophysical effects: nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting, internal-organ damage, or death may occur. By 1972 an infrasound generator had been built in France. When activated it made the people in range sick for hours.

This is my FAVORITE - And guess what? It was built by the Froggys!

I actually heard of this before. We (USA) have this too I think. Makes it awful hard for a platoon to do doubletime when you have an irresistable urge to poop.

#2 I thought we already used this in Panama:

Playing Metallica to Noriega while he was holed up in the Vataican Nuncio's residence.

#3 Naah, Old Spook - This was what you thought was Metallica. But, they are easy to confuse.

Curdler Unit: A device that is plugged into a sound system to produce a shrill, shrieking, blatting noise. It is used to irritate and disperse rioters and has a decibel range just below that of the danger level to the human ear. It is used in night operations to produce a "voodoo" effect and breaks up chanting, singing, and clapping.

Well that pretty much describes Metallica other than their eponymous album (AKA the Black Album). No wonder I got confused.

#5 Why haven't they used this on Saddam to get him to talk more?

Prophet: The projection of the image of ~~an ancient god~~ deceased sons over an enemy ~~capital whose public communications have~~ who has been seized and used against it him in a massive psychological operation.
