Can a sounds frequency stun?
This is in reference to Could an organism have evolved to kill its prey by shouting at it?
However, most answers here speak towards the brute force side of the equation, measure by it's decibel level. I'd like to redirect the question to give a static Decibel amount (we will say 110, so it's loud but not loud enough to cause the stunning effect) and allow the user to change through a variety of frequencies.
A singer can crack a glass after some trial and error if they hit the right frequency...could a predator use changing frequencies to hunt it's prey?
Hard-science here please.
Edit in clarifications:
- Whatever prey you feel is best to capture
- Whichever environment is best suited works, I imagine it'll be a paremeter in some answers
