“Nauseating” may be the best way to describe the sound of Alan Bates screaming in The Shout. Bates plays Charles Crossley, a maniac who, after 18 years of living in the Australian Outback, has mastered a “terror shout” technique from an Aboriginal shaman, and can now kill anyone in hearing distance with sound waves alone. Like a combination of a thousand nails dragged across the brittlest chalkboard, the highest pitch of a fire alarm, and a train putting on very rusty breaks, the sound was created without special effects through what is rumored to be 40 tracks of Dolby.

Despite that this story has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with design, nothing to do with my interests really … I couldn’t help but post this, as it’s probably the most interesting bit of micro-information I have come across in a while.
Also, I think this is the only method of killing not explored in Kill Bills 1 & 2.
Enjoy!
