Gale Force Sound: Difference between revisions

Anyone with a basic knowledge of physics knows [http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/sound-waves.html how sound waves work]. Anyone who's been up close to the stage of a rock concert can tell how well they work when it gets loud.

 

{{examples}}

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk71h2CQ_xM This old Maxell cassette tape ad] is the [[Ur Example]].

 

* Near the beginning of the first ''[[Back to The Future]]'', Marty hooks up an electric guitar to a [[Up to Eleven|ludicrously huge speaker]]. He plays a single chord and is physically hurled backwards by the sound (the speaker is destroyed in the process).

* ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]'' features the Harpists, two villains who fight their opponents by playing a guqin (Chinese zither) that makes sounds loud enough to knock people down. This is easily topped by the Landlady's "Lion's Roar" technique, which shakes buildings and cracks stone columns. When this fails to impress the Beast, the [[Big Bad]] of the story, her husband helps her rip the top off a church bell and holds it up for her to use as a megaphone. The result is a sonic tornado that reduces the room to splinters, with the Beast becoming a rapidfire participant in [[Oh Crap]] and [[Blown Across the Room]]. This does impress the Beast, and when she moves in to give him a second dose, he promptly surrenders. {{spoiler|[[I Surrender, Suckers|NOT.]]}}

* Near the end of the second ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie, Mike and Don send Shredder flying by turning the speaker he's standing in front of at maximum and hitting a chord.

 

* ''[[The Whiteboard]]'': [http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb024.html Doc using new speakers]

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'': [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-04-17 "If you want to really yell at somebody, Doctor, do it from the diaphragm."]

* [http://coachrandom.zzl.org/Chronological/comic-020.xml This comic]{{Dead link}} from [[Coach Random]].

 

* In Volume 4 Episode 12 of ''[[RWBY]]'', the Nuckelavee, a centaur-like Grimm, roars into Ren's face powerfully enough to blow his hair back.

 

* In the ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' mini-episode featuring Punk Rocket, Punk Rocket's guitar playing acts like this.

* From ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', there's the rock battle between Optimus Prime and Soundwave, in "Human Error, Part 2".

* ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'': Before Berrykin Bloom started taking lessons, his bassoon-playing shook the ground, to the point of knocking people over.

* The Whammer from ''[[Word Girl]]'' can crash his fists together to create shock waves that topple buildings.
