Music is as old as humanity, yet we know very little about this powerful form of communication.
These seven facts will help shed a little light.
1. Music can alter our senses
There is a scientific reason why the most stunning bands in history were also the loudest.

Stunning music could cause histeria, anger even depression.
Soft music brings peace, rest and intelligence development

7. Music is a weapon
Irritable music and high levelsof music are used as a method of torture and fordisperse enemies
In 2005, a British luxury cruise liner fended off a Somali pirate attack using blasts of extremely loud noise from
a new breed of non-lethal weapons.
Known as a Long Range Acoustic Device, its the latest in a series of military grade sonic weapons, capable
of emitting 150 dBs enough to burst your ear drums at a range of 984 feet.
The device has also been used in war zones, like Iraq, and to control crowds in New Orleans during Katrina, but
using sound and music as a weapon dates back decades. US troops blasted rock n roll to help flush out
Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega in 1989; the FBI used irritating music in an attempt to end the standoff
with the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas; and the rock anthem, AC/DCs Hells Bells, blared down the
streets of Fallujah while US Marines battled the Mujahadeen. Even George Washingtons Army used a drum
and fife corps as a command platform; their musical signals would direct troops during battle.
