*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'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.
