    No, your airpods will not protect you from this. Not only will the sheer volume of sound overwhelm their tiny ANC speakers, but sonic weapons affect more than just the eardrum. They can affect your heart, lungs, and other organs.

      Exact right, as it’s untrasonic, the sound is transmitted directly through the target’s body. Noise canceling earphones/plugs will have no protective effect whatsoever.
