'''Loud of War''' is when a character harasses another through the use of sound or music. Perhaps Alice has pointed her speakers at the annoying neighbor and is playing Beethoven's Fifth at full blast. Or an exasperated Bob uses a megaphone at point-blank range to tell Carol [[She's Not My Girlfriend|he's not her boyfriend]]. If the neighborhood is especially unfortunate, [[Bloom County|Deathtöngue]] and [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Toxic Vomit]] will be locked in a band practice [[Escalating War|battle of ever-escalating volume]].

* In the quest ''Conquering the Horizon'', the True People declared war on the Evelyn. Because Evelyn is a pacifist, she planned to annoy the crap out of them with loud noise, instead of, you know, killing them. At some point after they showed up in her ally's city she had a mobile sound body and used it subdued the True People's army with noise. The True People's species are blind and navigate through sound. The first song she used was a less than perfect rendition of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_(The_Temptations_song)]''. Evelyn notes that it is both fitting and ironic to use that song as a weapon in a war, yet with the intent to end the war as immediately and bloodlessly as possible. Make no mistake though, being on the receiving end was excruciating. The second song was ''[[Rick Astley|Never Gonna Give You Up]]''. It's not clear how many more songs Evelyn used, but it did work.
