Sonic weapons use sound waves to incapacitate, disorient, or harm individuals by harnessing acoustic energy, causing both physical and psychological effects. Although typically marketed as non-lethal, their use in military, law enforcement, and covert operations has raised serious ethical concerns.

In Serbia, following reports of a sonic weapon being used at a peaceful anti-corruption rally, calls for an independent investigation have intensified, with rights groups and opposition officials pushing for legal action against those responsible.
