* In ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'', monster [[MakeMeWannaShout roars]] are usually just a nuisance, as while any hunters in range are immobilized, the monster also stands still for the duration of the roar. However, if there are two monsters in the same area at once, the other monster can take advantage of the window of opportunity to get a few hits on the hunters. And then there's the Tigrex, who has a special "super roar" attack that will ''damage'' hunters in its range.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMansionsOfTheGods'': As usual for an ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' story, this is how Cacofonix is weaponized. Subverted in that where this was the final straw in the book, here it's interrupted by the Gauls, who just learned they can now live in the Mansions of the Gods.

* Happens in the ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'' episode "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Liver" where Tabitha's brother plays his drums very loudly, distracting her badly from studying. Milo did have a couple of failed solutions to have him stop playing such as taking his drumsticks away with a lasso (which although it originally succeeds, Milo accidentally trips over a toolbox, causing Tabitha's brother to continue playing with tools which makes the sound worse) or trying to play even louder music with more noise over his music so he won't be able to keep his beat (it fails as he founds a new beat from the more louder music). Finally, Milo's last solution is to trick Tabitha's brother that if he continues playing the drums and not change his habits, his "liver" will go bad (which is actually Milo's leftover liver he was meant to eat for dinner), which causes him to stop playing.

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonHumans Madison Russell]] uses the [=ORCA's=] artificial bio-acoustics at the Berezniki battle to painfully disorient [[spoiler:Keizer]] Ghidorah, giving Godzilla and his allies an advantage in the fight.

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': In an effort to disorient Ghidorah and save her father's life, [[Characters/MonsterVerseMadisonRussell Madison Russell]] sends the ORCA, which communicates with the {{Kaiju}} using bio-acoustics, into overdrive, causing Ghidorah to writhe around in pain and fury, and almost leading him to shoot the copter carrying Madison out of the sky to make the noise stop.

* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'': In "King Ramses' Curse", one of the plagues Pharaoh Ramses unleashes on Courage and his owners is obnoxious disco music ("King ''Raaa''mses! The man in gauze, the man in gauze!") This is subverted in that Courage found the source of the music and took a HammerSpace baseball bat to it; this only provoked Ramses to upgrade to all-devouring locusts.

* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', "King Ramses' Curse": One of the plagues Pharaoh Ramses unleashes on Courage and his owners is obnoxious disco music ("King ''Raaa''mses! The man in gauze, the man in gauze!") This is subverted in that Courage found the source of the music and took a HammerSpace baseball bat to it; this only provoked Ramses to upgrade to all-devouring locusts.

* The Brazilian river monitor ''Parnaíba'' has made headlines for two things. The first is that she is the oldest combat vessele still around today. The other is that the 80+ year old vessle has a ''very'' powerful speaker system installed and will blast metal to flush out cartel members during raids.

* Some speculate that the majestic '''''[[MoreDakka BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!]]''''' of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II A-10 Thunderbolt II]]'s truly monstrous [[{{BFG}} GAU-8 Avenger Autocannon]] serves as a form of psychological warfare on its own. Imagine in the heat of battle, you're hiding behind whatever flimsy shelter you can find, and in the distance, all you can hear is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvIJvPj_pjE this]]. With every passing minute, you hear the sound again, but it's getting closer, and closer, ''and closer''. It becomes the last thing you hear as the aircraft finally strafes your position, effortlessly chewing you to pieces with bullets the size of beer bottles, and the sound of your demise will only serve as further terror for your comrades.

* ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' has Marty, pretending to be an alien, improvise an AgonyBeam by sneaking headphones onto George's ears and blasting Music/VanHalen through them. Not only is it loud, but this is 1955, when rock and roll is ''just'' coming into vogue, so squealing metal guitars are a sound George has no experience with whatsoever.

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' with her megaphone.
