Sonic Bombs – sonic weapons to be projected into the battlefield through loudspeakers as tools of deception. Sonic bombs mimic actual strategies deployed by the American “23rd Headquarters Special Troops” during the Second World War. This military unit of trained musicians and sound artists recorded the sounds of armored and infantry units, and played them back with powerful speakers mounted on mobile halftracks to create a “phony army” that could be heard from up to 15 miles away.
