[microsound] sounds of Falluja...

[vze26m98 <vze26m98@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This from today's New York Times:

"For a time, this frightening urban battlefield became a pulsing
cacophony of strange and deadly sounds. The mosques in the city
broadcast calls to jihad through their speakers. F-18's fired 3,000
rounds a minute in bursts that sounded oddly like burps. AC-130 gunships
droned overhead, their big cannons going thunk, thunk as they found
targets.

Perhaps strangest of all, the American troops brought in their own
"psyops" trucks - for psychological operations - and blared sounds that
created a nightmarish duet with the mosques: old AC/DC songs, something
that sounded like a sonar ping, the cavalry charge."
