The idea behind this is simple. During warfare, troops are placed in unfamiliar environments. They are new to the place in which they are fighting. They have to get used to the sights, the smells, and, most importantly, the sounds. Spooky sounds can be very unnerving, especially at night.
My plan
is to airdrop portable speakers near the enemy at night. These speakers are cheap and easy to manufacture, much less expensive than a 1,000 pound bomb. These speakers then emit noises that have been specially design to unnerve and demoralize the enemy. These noises include screams, gurgles, creaks, and various spooky noises, even inaudibal waves that affect you even though you can't hear them (science shows that certain inaudibal frequencies produce certain feelings, such as that something is watching you).
At first, the noises would be irritating and distracting, but eerie. Then the noises would increase the distraction, making the enemy paraniod. The longer the sounds continue, the more disfunctional the enemy becomes. They might even start shooting at any noises they hear. They might even shoot each other. It would be like water dripping on your head that you can't wipe it off, impossible to ignore.
Our own troops would have psychological block, and of course, we wouldn't drop the speakers near them, would we?
inaudible frequencies - the "hypersonic effect"

[+] A good idea. I imagine thousands of these remote controlled speakers strewn across the landscape. They could be silent at first, then a few would start screaming in pain, then a few more would scream, “run for your lives,” “save yourselves,” etc., building up to a total rout. |

Psychological warfare, yes, but airdropping speakers near the enemy? No, it hasn't been done. |
|
| |
I think its a stupid idea. What would prevent them from disconnecting the speakers? |
|
| |
Finding the hundreds of them |
|
| |
What - they can't find something thats making all that noise? Rubbish! |
|
| |
...detonation upon disconnection? |
|
| |
Very interesting links, guys. The inaudible frequencies might explain why I sometimes feel a tingling in my spine and unseen eyes staring, waiting...*gasp* |
|
| |
How about adding holographic projections of undistinguishable shapes moving about, changing form, along with the creepy sounds. That should scare the bejesus out of anyone. |
|

I always thought the perfect distraction would be to waft odors of the soldiers' favourite food. |

this is baked though, as the Israelis are holding barbecues outside Palastinian prisons in order to break a hunger strike. |

Contracts, not baked. And I quote: |

//The US has dropped single frequency radios for intimidation psyops in the past.// |
|

These are *NOT* single frequency. |

Almost baked.Monty Python , World's Funniest Joke(read out loud in German so the English troops would'nt understand,and would'nt die laughing). |

You know what's a good scary sound? The sound of a couple thousand guys shooting at you. |
|
| |
Swiggidy, swiggidy, Swagg. I like this Idea. But what about other sounds, such as low frequency sounds like dog wistles or backwords talking. If you say the backwords talking in ze right voice it can be extremly unnerving. Mas conceit teip no ungata zatocramonita |

I like the idea of mad sounds - just hire Donald Rumsfeld
to recite some of his "Verses of a Village Idiot" speaches. |

I thought this would be a big, styrofoam bomb and several spies drawing everyone's attention to it. While it is priority #1, we just walf in and attack. This idea works too. + |
