Recordings of the Sounds Heard In the Cuban US Embassy Attacks Released (apnews.com)

New submitter chrissfoot shares a report from The Associated Press: The Associated Press has obtained a recording of what some U.S. Embassy workers heard in Havana in a series of unnerving incidents later deemed to be deliberate attacks. The recording, released Thursday by the AP, is the first disseminated publicly of the many taken in Cuba of mysterious sounds that led investigators initially to suspect a sonic weapon. The recordings themselves are not believed to be dangerous to those who listen. Sound experts and physicians say they know of no sound that can cause physical damage when played for short durations at normal levels through standard equipment like a cellphone or computer. What device produced the original sound remains unknown. Americans affected in Havana reported the sounds hit them at extreme volumes. You can listen to the "Dangerous Sound" here via YouTube.

The number of Americans killed by guns in that "factoid" also includes suicide. Never mind that the mass shootings that are listed are primarily in poor black neighborhoods or anything. Obviously we need drug control too, so many people die from the wrong medication dosages and drug induced suicide every day that the opoid crisis is certainly to blame. 400,000 people die every year in the US from it. The opoid crisis is obviously the cause of all those deaths.

Speaking of which, we're seeing exactly that same type of problem with gun violence in black neighborhoods here in Canada. But we don't see the same level of problem in say poor chinese, indian, or vietmanese neighborhoods. We don't even see this problem in native communities, and despite the money handed over via treaties(and it's a lot -- which many never see due to their own corruption). It's almost...almost like there's more going on here.
