Now I'm not talking about "sonic guns" or anything, but rather a much simpler (and arguably more effective) device that would emit sounds in a frequency inaudible to humans, but at least very distracting to the aliens, and at best actually painful and disorienting.... oh, and there's also, "Day of the Killer Tomotoes", but I don't think we want to go there.

"Teen-age cell phone ring tones!". Inaudible to adults, painful to aliens.

And what's wrong with "Puberty Love" from "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"? We can always use sheet music if they get earmuffs later on to invalidate our sonic weapons.

Maybe sonic weapons are not that far away as we think :>

My trolling skills are going down. No one responded.

Alright, why are the alien techs FIXED? We've got aliens that are vulnerable to sonic weapons. We design and deploy sonic weapons; apparently these aliens have never had anyone do this to them yet.

So why don't they develop earplugs/earmuffs/something else just as simple?

Very serious: Why not have the aliens tech increase in response to our tech increases?

Sure, we can do a better second generation that relies on vibrations that bypass the ear and target the internet sensor organs; imagine a sonic weapon that has the natural resonance frequency of the earbones. Ear plugs won't help at all.

The next weapon war might be noise cancellation; we can do that with modern earmuffs now. Maybe the aliens have a noise cancellation emitter in the middle of their UFO's after a while, so that while it is intact (not destroyed; not crashed) then no sonic weapon is effective inside the UFO but is effective outside the UFO.

Etc.

The israelis have been using them for at least 2  years...


the non lethal versions anyway... the US DOD has several lethal sonic weapons... still classified... youd be amazed at the goodies that never hit the market or the mainstream military... all in the name of ethics and morals.... Really i thought when it came to killing people morality was one of those optional things.. apparently not...
