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 he's not her boyfriend. If the neighborhood is especially unfortunate, Deathtöngue and Toxic Vomit will be locked in a band practice battle of ever-escalating volume. Usually refers to playing music at loud volumes, though not always. The important criterion is that the sound is (1) loud, (2) annoying, or (3) both. Often played for laughs (especially if bagpipes are involved). Any risk of hearing loss will be ignored as an Acceptable Break from Reality. Might constitute Cool and Unusual Punishment (even more so if Suckiness Is Painful). Also see Sensory Abuse, Brown Note, Dreadful Musician, Gale-Force Sound, Super Scream, No Indoor Voice, and Music to Invade Poland to. Sister Trope to Torment by Annoyance, which is the same concept but with something other than music. Supertrope of the Stuka Scream, at least in its original incarnation. Right Through the Wall often has similar results, but the annoying noise in question is specifically sexual in origin. Not to be confused with the Loudness War, or with Lord of War. Contrast with Musical Assassin. Also compare Incessant Music Madness, which is this trope done unintentionally. |

The US Army has tortured Iraqi prisoners of war and inmates at Guantanamo Bay with Metallica songs... and with Barney singing "I Love You, You Love Me." Many Iraqis have decided they'd rather tell on their comrades than listen to the stuff. See articles here and here. More specifically, the music is apparently played very loudly 24 hours a day. Sufficiently loud and constant classical music would probably do more or less the same thing. But that wouldn't be funny. Apocryphally, this ended up backfiring somewhat when one Guantanamo inmate turned out to be a huge metalhead and took to singing along. Maybe they should have broken out a copy of St. Anger... |

In Monster Hunter, monster roars are usually just a nuisance, as while any hunters in range are immobilized, the monster also stands still for the duration of the roar. However, if there are two monsters in the same area at once, the other monster can take advantage of the window of opportunity to get a few hits on the hunters. And then there's the Tigrex, who has a special "super roar" attack that will damage hunters in its range. | |

Happens in an episode of Tom and Jerry on Jerry's part (though not intentionally) in "Rock'n'Rodent" when he plays his drums all night as part of a music ensemble in the nightclub on the other side of the wall from where Tom is sleeping. Tom spends the entire night trying to stop the music at its source but to no avail. After a night of shenanigans, the defeated Tom is gleeful that the music has finally stopped. However, moments before the sleep deprived Tom can finally get a quiet sleep, he's awoken again by his alarm clock which continues to ring despite his desperate attempts to silence it. The roles were switched in another episode, with Tom and his buddies throwing a wild party while his owner was out and Jerry trying to get some sleep. They start picking on Jerry when he tries to convince them to shut it down, and after an escalation Jerry ends up calling Tom's owner to throw him out. It works... until the owner starts playing the same music to make up for her ruined evening. |

Rhonda Snord was a mercenary who was known for having a bunch of external speakers rigged to her customized Highlander battlemech, which she used to blast 20th Century rock 'n roll during combat. She had a preference for Elvis Presley, but used heavy metal just as often because it was good at demoralizing her opponents. | |

The Simpsons, In "Grade School Confidential", when Skinner, Krabappel, and Bart have sealed themselves inside the school. Chief Wiggum tries playing romantic music to make them snap and leave. Skinner and Krabappel, who have fallen in love, merely begin enjoying a romantic dance. This causes Bart to snap and scream "Turn it off!", which only convinces a smug Wiggum that it's working and to turn on a spotlight...which gets reflected through a colander as mood lighting. In "Mother Simpson", when Homer's mom is trapped inside the Simpson house, Mr. Burns drives up in a tank, and threatens to blast her out with music. He turns on Ride of the Valkries, only for it to abruptly change to Abba's Waterloo. |

On Heroes, Mohinder knows his mortal nemesis Sylar has absorbed the power of super-hearing. His hearing is so keen he can hear other people's breathing and heartbeats, and in fact suffered terrible headaches from the noise. So when Mohinder goes to torture Sylar, what does he do? He strikes a tuning fork and holds it up next to Sylar's ear in all of its shrill, discordant glory and lets Sylar scream for mercy. | |

Not only is it loud, but this is 1955, when rock and roll is just coming into vogue, so squealing metal guitars are a sound George has no experience with whatsoever. | |

The bad toys in Small Soldiers did this. In between various homemade guns, flame-throwers, cannons and whatnot that they used to lay siege to the good guys' home, there were two large speakers. Upon powerup they started playing "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, prompting one of the good guys (a company tech, his password was 'gizmo') to exclaim "psychological warfare!" while the tipsy wife of the electronics fetishist exclaimed "I love this song!" | |

Dylan Dog's clarinet rendition of the Devil Trill Sonata is treated as such, owing to it being a work for solo violin and Dylan being bad with the clarinet. During his stint in jail he drove the other prisoners to beg for him to be freed just so he'd stop playing it, and it's one of the things that have driven his neighbour to build a homemade cannon and point it at Dylan's apartment (and could well cause him to shoot it). | |

Almost a meta-subversion: In Super Dimension Fortress Macross, the singing of Lynn Minmay was inspirational to the humans and a psychological weapon of mass destruction to the Zentradi. The voicework for Minmei's singing in the English adaptation Robotech, however, is considered to be so god-awfully grating that fans accept the latter description as accurate, with Fanfics sometimes portraying it in exactly those terms. | |

Discworld Llamedosian battle choirs are supported by specially reinforced battle-harps, who can set up subsonic harmonies that can make an enemy feel very ill indeed, or cause his fortress walls to collapse. The Pictsie folk have a battle-bard called the Gonnagle, who alternates awful poetry with the ultrasonic mousepipes, the least excruciating effect of which is to cause ear-wax to melt and run. |

Warriors in World of Warcraft 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. | |

In the Pauly Shore vehicle Bio-Dome, the police try to get the protagonists out of the titular structure by blasting Men Without Hats' "The Safety Dance". In a subversion, it doesn't work; it just means they have a rhythm as they fix the place up. In a shout-out to the music video, it also causes a dancing midget to suddenly show up... | |

This is one of the many techniques used by the Onigafuchi Guardians during the Dam War in Higurashi: When They Cry. They would park a van in front of the dam construction site and blast buddhist prayers through megaphones at an insane volume to make the police and the workers go mad. And they can't be arrested for that since religious freedom is protected. | |

The newbie questions why they're listening to it, and gets admonished by the sarge. This is a Shout-Out to a scene from the first game of the series (Combat Evolved) in which the Sarge (Avery J.

In Are You Afraid of the Dark?: "The Tale of the Hatching", the reason the students were instructed to keep quiet in the boarding school was because of the reptiloid aliens' intolerance to loud high-frequency sound.

Subverted in Girl Genius. Castle Heterodyne has a torture room that apparently plays music. Few people can actually hear it, however. It might be designed to torment Sparks specifically, as Othar breaks down within seconds. Then used straight with the striking of the Doom Bell. It apparently induces existential despair. |

On the M*A*S*H episode "The Smell of Music", Charles' (terrible) playing of the French horn leaves the entire camp in an uproar, especially Hawkeye and B.J., Charles' bunkmates, who protest by refusing to shower. This continues for several days, until the two interrupt Charles' session with a kettledrum-and-kazoo rendition of The Col. Bogey March, and the day ends with a mob, led by Major Houlihan, dousing Hawkeye and B.J. with buckets of soap and water, and running over Charles' horn with a jeep. | |

Subverted in World War Z where each country lures the zombies to their firing boxes by playing loud music or at least making as much noise as possible. The Africans use war chants, the British use bagpipes, the Chinese use bugles, the Americans use heavy metal music . . . and so on. | |

BattleTech: The Northwind Highlanders who this, complete with making deployment drops while their Drop Ship fleet plays stirring bagpipe music over every broadcast channel. At maximum volume. Doubles as communications jamming since their enemies are unable to hear each other over their radios with the bagpipes on every frequency, and several on the receiving end of the tactic have noted it gives them headaches. The ''Gabriel'' Light Reconnaissance Tank was named due to an accidental discovery by pilots that if they angled the forward fans just so, it made a wailing trumpet sound from the pitch-back noise. Rhonda Snord was a mercenary who was known for having a bunch of external speakers rigged to her customized Highlander battlemech, which she used to blast 20th Century rock 'n roll during combat. She had a preference for Elvis Presley, but used heavy metal just as often because it was good at demoralizing her opponents. |

My Hero Academia: Kyoka Jiro's "Earphone Jack" Quirk lets her weaponize the sound of her heartbeats against her opponents. One of the teachers, Present Mic, is even less subtle: he just yells incredibly loudly. We mostly see him use this as a Mundane Utility, such as doing commentary during the Tournament Arc, but during a final exam that pits students against teachers, we see how effective it is when targeted against people. |

Pokémon: Loudred and Exploud are built upon this trope; their shtick is using sound to power their attacks. They also have the ability Soundproof, which prevents other sound-based moves (such as Sing and Supersonic) from working on them. Gen V brings the Tympole line, another family that loves to use sound (Echoed Voice, Screech). Many Steel-types can use Metal Sound, while Hyper Voice is common on Dragon-types and some others. |

Splatoon has the Killer Wail as one of its super weapons. After it charges, placing it down will have it emit an ungodly screech in the direction it was placed, reaching across the entire stage. Of course, if a player is caught in it, they get immediately splatted. It even features in single player, where DJ Octavio uses it against the player. While it doesn't appear in the sequel as a special, a modified version is used by Pearl during both the end of Octo Expansion and the game's "Chaos vs. Order" Grand Finale Splatfest to even greater effect. Splatoon 3 would introduce the Killer Wail 5.1, which is a smaller variant of the original. | |

Happens in Game of Thrones, when Winterfell is sieged by an army which keeps playing a loud, high-pitched horn every half a minute to unnerve the defenders. The tactic works quite well on the leader of the defending faction, Theon Greyjoy. Ramsay Snow uses the same horn repeatedly during his torture of Theon, implying he was the horn-blowing cunt concerned. |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, our heroes are indeed forced to listen to (and then appreciate) Vogon poetry, the third worst in the universe. (The very worst, fortunately, had been annihilated along with the rest of Earth, but since Arthur Dent comes from the same place that produced said poetry, his perception is skewed, so he doesn't react nearly as badly.) In the movie while Ford Prefect is in aural agony, Arthur Dent is completely immune to it and has a confused look on his face. On the other hand, in the TV miniseries, both Arthur and Ford are badly affected by it. And there's Disaster Area music which has to be broadcast through an entire planet (or sometimes a completely different planet) before the volume is lowered enough so people can safely hear it. |

In Fairy Tail, Natsu uses this to his advantage against Cobra, who has incredibly powerful hearing that lets him read minds, somehow. He tricks him with the phrasing of the attack beforehand as a wide-range roar, which would normally mean a gigantic fireball. Nope, it's actually an extremely loud, actual dragon's roar. Cobra himself gains the ability to do this after the Time Skip. |

In Warhammer 40,000, there's a group of Chaos Space Marines who worship the pleasure god Slaanesh, called Noise Marines. They use "sonic blasters" to damage foes, and have often been modeled to represent punk/metal bands on the tabletop for a bit of comic relief. (Games Workshop's original Noise Marines were even sculpted with that look— and they recently released an updated version◊ of the early Noise Marine as a tribute.) There's also an Imperium superweapon called an Ordinatus, where at least one variant is armed with a Sonic Disruptor. | |

Child of the Storm: in the finale of Unfinished Business, Doctor Strange, formerly Taliesin and a literally legendary bard, uses this as part of his planetary scale Magic Music response to the Arc Villain's schemes. As in, part of it is keeping the damage she's doing in check. Part of it is picking exactly the right songs to a) distract her, and b) annoy the shit out of her. Music that, thanks to cosmic senses and magic, she can hear from Mars. Considering the amount of frustrated screaming this induces, it can be considered to be a complete success. | |

Kirby: The "Mike" (microphone) copy ability, which has Kirby attack enemies with loud sounds and clear them all off the screen. Its animations varies from game to game, and on which of the three times you can do it. The original Kirby's Dream Land did not feature a copy ability, but it did feature the Mike. It only worked once, by inhaling and then spitting it out again. Once Kirby's Adventure and its copy ability appeared, the Mike became three-use to contrast it to the Crash ability. In general, the results are the same, but the animations differ (and usually escalate) with each use; most games progress from a megaphone, to a desk microphone, to finally a stand microphone, which Kirby will grab rocker-style for an extra flourish. Kirby's Adventure lampshades the trope's ability to destroy enemies by noting in the pause screen, "I wonder why that song hurts enemies..." |

South Park: The David Koresh incident (see Real Life) was spoofed in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub", when the ATF try to force people out of the house where a "comet party" is being held (believing them to be suicide cultists) by playing an obnoxious pop song that's a thinly disguised parody of "Believe" by Cher. It went unnoticed because the same song was playing on the stereo. They specifically refer to the Waco fiasco. Barbra Streisand sang until Cartman told her the location of the Triangle of Zinthar in "Mecha-Streisand". He again revealed information when a CIA agent scratched a balloon in "Starvin Marvin in Space". |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Buffy uses a loud scream to defeat the Gentlemen in "Hush". In "Living Conditions", Buffy's roommate's playing of Cher albums is driving Buffy crazy. On the Angel episode "Five by Five", Faith mentioned using 'loud' as one of the basic torture methods when she kidnapped Wesley, but she never got to use it. |

In one episode of Family Guy Peter gets obsessed with the song "Surfin' Bird" and plays/sings it nonstop, intentionally trying to annoy people with it. In a later episode Peter has gotten amnesia, and then discovers this great new song: Surfin' Bird... And in a different later episode, Peter gets amnesia and turns on his house stereo. When an endangered species of bird took up residence in Peter's recently-grown beard, he tried to drive it out by playing loud music. In the Star Wars spoof Laugh It Up, Fuzzball, the torture scene from Empire is recreated with Han (Peter) being tormented by "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" |

In the Rurouni Kenshin manga, Kenshin is up against Enishi, the brother of his dead fiancee from his Battousai days. He'd trained himself to have Super Senses so has inhuman reaction time (enabling him to counter Kenshin's typical advantages of speed and reading the enemy). Kenshin finds a solution that turns those senses against him. He sheathes his sword HARD. The loud ringing of the hilt's collision with the scabbard hurts the ears of his allied Ninja friends standing some distance away. Consider that Enishi's heightened senses include hearing and you can guess the effect it had on him. | |

The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: In chapter 27, Rex gives Wind Breaker a special alarm he can use to wake everyone up in case of emergencies and startle and disorient those attacking them. A demonstration is eventually made in chapter 44, in which it is revealed as an extremely loud foghorn... and that was the lowest setting (it's also a Shout-Out to the one in This Bites!). According to Rex, had it actually been set off while they were in the forest, it would have been heard all the way back in Canterlot. | |

At the end of an episode of Babylon 5, Marcus Cole and Dr. Franklin are stuck in the cargo hold of a freighter together. Marcus is bored, and is playing with a collapsible staff, which is annoying Franklin. Marcus says, "Would you rather I sing?" and then starts off into a rendition of the Major General Song. The song continues into the credits, until Franklin can't take any more of it and finally screams. In another episode, Londo tries to put one over on the technomage Elric. He retaliates by (among other things) blasting Narn opera into Londo's quarters. The Shadows employ this, somewhat, when their ships "screaming" as they pass, which adds to their generally terrifying appearance. |

In The Goon Show's Nineteen Eighty-Four parody - predictably enough, called "Nineteen Eighty Five" - the tortures in Room 101 all entailed listening to BBC Radio Soap Operas. Also Harry Seacombe singing. Which is Fridge Brilliance, as Orwell originally named the room after a real conference room at BBC Broadcasting House in which tedious planning meetings for new programs (possibly including soap operas) were held. |

The aliens in It's Walky! use The Sound of Music as a form of mental torture. One of the members of the alien-fighting organization SEMME actually has it as her particular schtick that she's immune to it... This seems to be a favored trope of the aliens: Joyce's Break the Cutie moment involved being forced to watch porn. Not even any sort of fetish porn. Just porn. |

Similarly, a laser-shooting guitar solo battle occurs in the video for Dragonforce's Operation Ground and Pound, intercut with the guitarists battling on a console game (and humourously, vocalist ZP Theart looking bored and drinking tea). Due to the nature of the genre, this setup is likely used in many power/speed/thrash metal videos. The Darkness's video for I Believe In A Thing Called Love also involved a laser-firing guitar solo, though this time it's used to fend off an alien trying to destroy the spaceship the band are in. | |
