...getting carried away?
...I may be wrong but I think everyone got carried away with alternative weapons and missed the more common "brownout" which could have been mistaken as "brown note"
A brownout is when the mains (or independant power source) falls below the desired voltage and (typically) lights dim when experienced.
Although dimmed lights are a sign that a brownout is occuring they do happen much more frequently (allbeit to a lesser degree) and are the most common cause of disk head errors on pc systems (you learn something new every day!).
This may have answered your question "what is a brown note", but if not at least you may have learned something?
Note: Not to be mistaken for black outs - where power is cut completely, usually due to safety circuits, fuses, etc.

Hi all
Most of it are modern kind of fairytales. At least the application in Gulf war and the incident at the Pink Floyd concert. It is possible that loud bass sounds can be rather unpleasing, but this is sometimes just a matter of taste.
See:http://www.princeton.edu/~globsec/publications/pdf/9_3altmann.pdf
I think those stories belong to the same group as people telling that they managed to shatter a glass window with their stereo (while it is theoretically possible, 98% of these statements are hoax IMHO).
