The voices in your head might be real

There's been talk about devices that can beam sound specifically to an individual for years - Fortean Times ran articles on it at least five years back - but an actual (non-classified) gizmo is now revealed' After years of reading puff pieces about the coming of the “Hypersonic Soundbeam,” a device designed to send targeted blasts of sound waves

Argh, if this doesn't send me postal, nothing will.

LIFE Magazine ran an article on a device to project sound directly to the nervous system back in the 1950s. If the original "Neurophone" had worked as well as advertised, the Deaf would probably be using it. However, it's a safe bet that the CIA has been making improvements on it for the past half-century.

This new form of invasive advertising (obsolete military technology finally being released into the wild?) is just one more compelling reason to stay away from crowded public places!

Wonder if it's the same tech as was used against the Greenham Common peace camp, all those years ago? I heard descriptions from too many women to dismiss it as auto-suggestion or paranoia.

Would not surprise me at all.
