*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.they generate sound rather than hurt things

*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.
