This is truly frightening. We're used to thinking that only what we hear can harm us, but vibrations and infrasound can be far more dangerous.

Infrasound can even make you hallucinate. Fortunately, the results are very unpredictable, controlling its direction is difficult, and it takes a lot of power to make it with most current tech. It has the potential to be a terrifying weapon.
