Why no infrasonic weapons seen in the US - so far ? Potential of setting off heart, breathing & nerve/brain irregularities not only in the target "audience" but in the "authorities" as well. As we know, low frequencies tend to spread in every direction, and couldn't be focused in this frequency range without a truly enormous horn. Could start breaking windows too, plus negatively affecting those nearby who have nothing to do with the riot/disturbance/demonstration. Stand by for further revolting developments.
FWIW sonic weapons not in the infrasonic range have been deployed against Somali pirates (they're not impressed) and in the USA, read here from Wiki and yeh I know some people claim Wiki is full of misinformation so... believe what you want.
"Some police forces have used sound cannons against protesters, for example during the 2009 G20 Pittsburgh summit,[6] the 2014 Ferguson unrest,[7] the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protest in North Dakota,[8] among others."
I can tell you first hand that an outdoor concert I was working at in Rochester NY summer 1994 was subjected to sonic interference - close enough to sonic warfare - from the roof of a nearby building. Both concert and interference approved by city government - go figure. It was definitely an unpleasant experience but not bad enough to send the audience running. What it did do was make the musicians onstage complain they could not hear their instruments or monitors. I suppose the audience wanted to get their money's worth for the ticket price. Apparently this was standard practice in Rochester at the time, who knows before or since, and I'm glad to see - and hear - it did not turn into a trend in other places.
