Soundless Sound?

This is an interesting reaction.  For starters, even if someone had a recording of something in your own voice, I don't think the brain has any troubles to distinguish that from your inner monologue.  Surely the brain can distinguish between information it sends itself and information the nervous system sends it.  Did you feel the same way when the megaphone, public address system, or boombox were invented?  Have you ever heard a recording of yourself and thought you were talking at that moment?  For all of the technology that really can invade your privacy, this one scarcely rates higher than a power amplifier as far as I can see.

Honestly, my main issue with the technology is that seems inferior to some existing technology (headphones, megaphones/speakers, radio/CB/telephone, etc) for virtually any practical purpose.  It sounds like something that will be a gimmick in a few museums and theme parks and then disappear.  Maybe it will find some military uses, but I don't think mind control will be one of them.

Maybe you misunderstood what I meant by trespass on my inner monologue, and more likely I was unclear.

Trespass. To intrude upon without invitation. I do not claim that I won't be able to tell which is which, it is the intrusion that I object to, with vigour. Bad enough all the noise and unwanted audio stimulation I get now, I do not wish to be targeted by such a device. This becomes a griefing tool for real life.

Nys, the "voices in my head" line was a joke. You are familiar, I expect, with the Denis Leary song "Voices in My Head?" :D
