Harmonic resonance is a powerful thing that is poorly understood. Tesla said he could bring a building down with it, had a little device that apparently would do the trick. I would like to have a look at all the stuff they seized when that guy died.
No doubt humans have a lot to lean still. The first proposal of the quark was a big monkey wrench in physics. The quark was proved to exist, and theory was modified to fit it in, and it made physics more accurate. It helped refine the laws of physics. Same this with the Higgs Boson.

Still the fact that the amount of energy needed to make sound work as any strong effect, requires a lot of energy input. There is no magic amplifier.

TV and movies love the old scene of a lady shooting a bad guy or monster or whatever, and blowing them backwards through a window. Yet the 100 pound woman just stands there. The old equal action - reaction should apply. It would blow her backwards even further. Or the roundhouse kick from the 100 pound super hot chick to the face of a 300 pound professional bodyguard will knock him backwards and she just drops to the ground. It is just movie magic. And we can't apply movie magic to real life.

Microwave ovens are almost magic. A cup of coffee nuked for 30 seconds is boiling hot. But it takes a magnetron and 110 volts and several amps of power to do it.
