Those are really good questions. For sound blasts that are visible (xD
Yes, but I also have another question about sound in general, albeit it may be one with an obvious answer but I would like to make sure.
1) How can wind be c orrectly used to counter sound, and can it only counter sound not based on hearing?
2) Also the speed given at the bottom of each technique, how can that be translated into the rp? Like the last technique moves at 500 speed. 500 speed per what? Or how long would it take to travel from me to mid-range.

is an example of a shockwave or sound wave if you want) you can use similar wind jutsus. It's also advisable to have some kind of all around wind barrier that can defend you from the all around effects of sound. People have also developed earthen ear muffs to prevent their hearing being affected but the flaw with that is that you don't need to hear the techniques and they can still destroy you with their frequencies and vibrations. I'm sure you saw my Exhaustion technique. I attacked an opponent with it and he used a way to "cleanse" the effects in a very unique way that I really liked. He used a wind jutsu that requires him to channel chakra in his lungs in order to expel the jutsu. The build up of wind chakra canceled out the sound effects on his lungs and he was set free, however his wind jutsu was considerably weaker. I hope that gives you some ideas.Those speeds are really not defined and it's been debated for a very long while about how to re-work the whole sound element to make it more fitting for our RP. I have no details how it's going and whether it's even being worked on. What I know for sure is that sound is very fast but it would be pointless if the opponent wasn't given a chance to counter it. If he can come up with a valid reason why it's a sound (hear it, see it or something) using his senses, then I'd let him have his counter. Using my general estimation I'd say that it's twice the speed of lightning techniques and people are still able to defend against those, right? Nobody really cares about the speed of lightning, they just throw a wind jutsu and that's it.
