Medical examinations of U.S. diplomats stationed in Havana revealed discernible changes in the brain's white matter following unexplained "sonic attacks." Doctors noted that these findings are consistent with blast injuries rather than standard acoustic exposure. While some CIA veterans suggest the incidents might be surveillance attempts gone wrong, the source of the attacks remains officially unknown.

The Associated Press released a recording of the high-pitched sound allegedly used in "sonic attacks" against US diplomats in Cuba. The hosts play the audio and joke about its effects on the audience. They also mock an ESPN advertisement that incorrectly described a stadium's vibration as registering "two miles away on the Richter scale."

U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Havana, Cuba, suffered severe hearing loss and brain symptoms following unexplained "sonic incidents." While the U.S. expelled two Cuban diplomats in response, some intelligence veterans suggest the injuries may have been the result of a sophisticated surveillance attempt gone wrong. The technology involved is speculated to be an advanced Doppler or radar-based listening device that caused unintended physical damage.
