* ThisTroper once had a noisy neighbour who stayed up until 3am playing music, arguing and generally being a waste of flesh. The response, in a similar vein to the TAOC TEH WODNER DOG song, was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCvq_Rdkz98 this]] horrific homemade 7 minute barrage of audio. It starts out with deranged, poorly Autotuned singing and gets worse. Much, much worse. Played at loud volumes, it was... interesting.

* Warriors in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' has Demoralizing Shout, which decreases enemy damage, Intimidating Shout, which causes enemies to flee, Challenging Shout, which forces enemies to attack them, and Piercing Howl, which dazes enemies. They also have Commanding Shout and Battle Shout, which increase allies endurance and damage respectively. Apparently warriors have a pretty wide vocal range. Warlocks also have Howl of Terror, which makes enemies flee. Hunter-trained bears and carrion birds also decrease enemy damage through roars and screeches, the latter of which causes actual damage.

* Occasionally happens at protests or similar situations, as competing sides attempt to drown each other out - and may even be a deliberate attempt to cause disruption to communication or drive away business while using the shelter of free speech. One example that comes to mind is anti-wicca activist Bill Pricer's attempt to prevent the performance of an equinox ceremony by attenting it himself. With a truck, and a sound system cranked up to eleven, and a CD of Christian rock. And, just to be sure, a group of friends who walked around chanting bible verses. The attempt was a success: One cannot conduct a ceremony if the words are inaudible (http://www.witchvox.com/va/dt_article.html?a=cabc&id=8514). I also recall reading of an escalation of the Muslim call to prayer in some areas following the introduction of amplified speaker technology - as mosques competed to have the loudest call, the arms race lead to some in areas of high mosque-density reaching the levels that can cause hearing loss to nearby residents.
