    I just cannot imagine being truly tortured with sound. I mean think about sounds that are extremely annoying or irritating to you, and then imagine that times 10. Amazing the psychological toll that something as simple as sound can have on a person.

    Think about the world wars. They had guys suffering from shell shock all over the place.

    I think it is more like PTSD like Chinese Water Torture.

    Cool article.
