I still don’t understand. People clear the street very quickly but I don’t see anything like a car or teargas. Does the sonic weapon sound like a vehicle or something like that?

If you’re close enough then it can permanently damage your hearing. It can also blow out some microphones so many recordings of this from a victim’s perspective don’t actually contain audio of the actual deterrent sound.

This depends on a lot of factors like distance, direction, and original intensity. But it can be painful or worse, cause permanent hearing loss.
