| #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. |

| #2 I thought we already used this in Panama: Playing Metallica to Noriega while he was holed up in the Vataican Nuncio's residence. |

| #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. |
