According to RtviAccording to scientists, the sound of “acoustic attacks” resembles the trills of Indian cricket Anurogryllus celerinictus. According to the study, these sounds coincide in duration, pulse repetition rate and sound strength. As noted by CNN, the study was not reviewed.

However, the authors of the study, Fernando Montilegre-Zapata of the University of Lincoln in the UK and Alexander Stubbs of the University of California at Berkeley, do not deny that other sources of “acoustic attacks” are possible. Montilegre-Zapata also told the Guardian that in his childhood he often encountered the unpleasant sound of the insect's trill. “I'm not surprised that this sound can disturb people who have never heard it,” he added. In October 2017, US President Donald Trump He accused Cuban authorities in the "acoustic attacks" on American diplomats. According to the Americans, they used unknown acoustic weapons to carry out attacks. As reported by AP, since November 2016, 22 people have suffered from these “attacks”. Employees of the US embassies in Havana in 2016 — 2017 have complained of dizziness, nausea, and even hearing loss.

In August, the Guardian 2018 wrote that some neurologists questioned the fact that diplomats got real "brain injuries." They suggested that the pains of Americans could be psychosomatic. The authorities of Havana also denied the possibility of attacks.
