Could an RFID System Be Used for Sound Torture?

If so, how?

Hmmm. I don’t know what “sound torture” is, though I assume it’s something like water torture, but instead of using drops of water to drive someone to the point of divulging everything they know, you would use some type of sound to cause pain or discomfort.

RFID systems do not produce any sound, so I do not believe they could be used in this manner—but even if they could be, I would not publish information that might aid someone in torturing another human being.

I will, however, suggest you could try playing Brittany Spears’ single, “Oops!… I Did It Again,” on an endless loop.
