A missile which homes in on low frequency audio sources. Train it on the audio source and off it goes.
Originally intended for consumer/automotive use, it also has some interesting military applications - mostly because I want to see fighters dropping Walkmans strapped to 12" speakers as chaff.

Dang it phoenix. Where were you with the missile launcher earlier? I envisioned the same thing while in traffic. boom boom BOOM. <Incoming>croissant</Incoming> |

Would this not result in the death of hundreds of boy racers in times of war? What with them playing their dance music very loudly through the biggest bass speakers they can cram into their vauxhall novas.
(Not that this wouldn't be a bad thing though). |

"In other news, a freak explosion occured at this week's Star Wars convention. It was believed that actor james Earl Jones was speaking to fans near the area." |
|

Rant aside, it's really hard to "seek" bass. |
|
| |
Bookworm, the wave has to have direction, right? I know it's hard for people to determine direction, but I think it could be done... |
|
| |
I think it should b a specific bass note,
co that my band won't get blown up |

oh and wot is petersealy on about |

In the most recent rewriting of an antiterrorist move to assassinate some middle eastern criminal, Israeli intelligence was supposed to have done this to its target when he picked up the telephone. -- whisszz -- right in the window. |

[Rods] Must be painful having elephants on one hand &
mosquitoes on the other. Ouch. |
|

Right. Gotta convince the elephant to move before you can scratch... |

[Deity] From an engineering standpoint, the lower the frequency of the sound you want to pinpoint, the farther apart your microphones have to be in order for them to be on different parts of the waveform. |

Presumably you could home in on bass signals using the movement of the missile to triangulate. It might have to zig-zag a bit, but missiles that zig-zag wildly, turn corners and stuff are way cooler than ones that just fly in straight lines. |
|
| |
Also, different missiles tailored to tenors, sopranos, altos, etc, would be cool. Otherwise you would create a global imbalance in opera singers, and that might have consequences (though admittedly that seems unlikely). |

Final dim pun: I think the army would be more interested in a base-seeking missile. It could look for the light reflected off the gold braid of the generals' uniforms. |

Wouldn't that be a "brass" seeking missile? |
|
| |
I am offended at this idea |
|

Would the Resonant Fly Immobilizer (tm;
blatants elf promotion) be of any use?
Could you fry an amp by driving the
speakers in sympathy with the frequency
they were trying to generate? |

<quickly passing bus while turing off stereo> Brilliant. [+] |
