'''Sonic grenades''' are a [[United Nations Space Command]] explosive. Several of them were used in the obstacle course set up by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] for [[John-117]]'s and [[Cortana]]'s first test with [[smart AI]] integration with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor on [[Reach]], hidden amongst the [[Pillars of Loki]] and used in conjunction with [[napalm grenade]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Chapter 27</ref>

Little is known about these [[grenades]], other than that several of these were used by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] in testing the [[MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor on [[Reach]], hidden amongst the [[Pillars of Loki]] and used in conjunction with [[Napalm Grenade]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Page 262</ref>
 
==Theories==
*This grenade is similar to a [[Fragmentation Grenade]] in structure and detonation, except that it uses a miniature sonic boom rather than explosives. The grenade is not as effective as a Frag, but it is still effective and operative.
*The grenade is a non-lethal weapon used by Drill Instructors to teach [[Marines]] to keep their eyes peeled, hitting them with a loud sound that hurts their ears rather than actually causing them bodily harm. It would be one of the nicer booby traps used by DIs.
 
==Trivia==
*They're probably similar to the ''Star Wars'' [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_detonator Sonic Detonators] as they use high frequency sounds to incapacitate targets.
*These grenades cannot be used by the player for they are not seen or used in the [[Halo Trilogy]].
*Their use as a non-lethal measure means they could be compared to presently used flashbang grenades.
