This is bizarre: Sound bomb detonates at Cairo's Ramsis train station
A sound bomb detonated on Thursday morning at Ramsis railway station in central Cairo, railway authority spokesman Nagwa Albert told Ahram Online..
Snip.......
The explosion of sound bombs at transportation hubs around the country has been a recurrent phenomenon in recent months.
Last week, a sound bomb burst at Helmiyat El-Zeitun metro station in east Cairo, setting off a stampede which left 16 people with minor injuries.

Never heard of these, so went to the web.
There is a reference from 2009 that Israel was using "sound bombs" on Gaza, the delivery mechanism was repeated very low flying jets causing sonic booms.
But I could not find any references to a "sound bomb" in terms of something you could set off, minus jets, etc.
anyone?
