Okay gayboi let me hear why you are so fascinated with sound and why you were ready to do whatever it takes to get your hands on it. Tell me the usual stuff, what is sound, how do you create it, etc. Oh and I want to know what do your drumming skills IRL have to do with an imaginary element on a roleplaying forum.

No using condoms?

I like sound because of it's offensive and supplementary skills. The enhanced hearing can help a lot with anticipating, and countering attacks. I also like it's offensive and destructive force even though it isn't a tangible thing. I get horny when I use sound to make genjutsu XD.


Sound Release is a skill which allows the user to use sound to fight his opponent. Manipulating their chakra the user is able to increase their own sense of hearing thus allowing them to hear the slightest sounds. It can also be used to attack the opponent sound waves which can damage their hearing making them go deaf, but also damage their center of orientation and balance thus confusing them and allowing the user to gain the upper hand. It can also be used to put the opponent into a genjutsu like Tayuya of the Sound Four does.It is created by combining the two of the basic five elements: Lightning and Wind. It's weakness is Earth since the earth (certain techniques) can prevent the sound waves from reaching their target. It is also weak against Wind for the same reason it overpowers Lightning.it is a perfect sound isolator but it can also blow away the sound waves thus dispelling them.

Whoa whoa hold on a second. Sound weak against earth? It's actually the complete opposite because soundwaves shatter earth. Ok, you covered the NB part of sound but I like to get scientific with stuff so this isn't nearly as close to sound.

Frequency is one of the most important parts of sound. Sounds are basically oscillating pressure waves and when they oscillate at a certain frequency as an other object then it can shatter it. This is also called resonating frequency. It is also important to note that not all soundwaves have to be observable to us. The human hearing spectrum reaches from 20hz to 20,000hz and everything above is considered ultrasound and everything below is infrasound. This means that even when you use sounwaves that your opponent can't hear, it means that they can still produce some effects. Infrasound is everything below 20hz and it doesn't have damaging properties and it focuses on crowd control and disorienting the opponent, while everything above 20khz can cause actual damage to your body.

Now there are three main properties that define sound. Those are a medium, frequency and vibration. Now what is their correlation? You use the medium to cause vibrations which then oscillate at certain frequencies and travel form one point to another, transmitting those same vibrations. In this case, the medium can be literally anything. A stick, your vocal chords, a sound emitter device, etc. The higher the amount of vibrations the higher the frequency. We can also add the substance through which the sound waves travel into the bunch and then we're complete.

Frequency

First of all, a frequency is measured in Hertz. A frequency in theory is how many waves pass a certain point in a certain amount of time. So, basically, the lower the interval, the higher the frequency.

Now, the cool thing is, adjusting the frequency. A higher frequency is a higher pitched tone, while a lower frequency is a lower pitched tone. If you listen to music and hear the bass, the frequency is lower. You can also feel it in your body a lot more than high frequency tones, because generally those are harder to perceive in the first place. The neat thing is, that this allows us to alter the effects of sound techniques by altering the frequency. That being said, you probably see how versatile sound actually can be, and how it can create different effects. Even if you can't hear something, the sound waves are still there and can still have effects on your body.

Substance it moves/passes through

Now, realize that sound can move through any medium. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Though we needs some sort of limitations, and it's reasonable to say wind is a good counter to sound if it can be seen (doujutsu) or heard, but at that point it might be too late (depending on how a technique is used and how the effects are). Earth, however, depending on the situation (and the level of understanding of the usage by the opponent) can be a devastating counter as well.

Now, look below:

-Speed of sound:
solid > liquid > gas.

Sound moves fastes of all through solids. Generally, this is because the particles and atoms in earth are more tightly packed than they are in liquids or gas. So, the closer the atoms/molecules, the faster sound moves.

- Elastic properties
There is a catch in between different solids. Sound moves faster through rigid solids (i.e. steel, iron) than other things like jelly. This is because solids that are rigid generally mean that the atoms and molecules have a much stronger force of attraction towards each other than in other solids. This is because of the fact that, once moved, they move back to their original position/form more quickly (and thus resulting in a much higher vibration speed). jelly in this case has much weaker attraction between the molecules, that's why it's so "elastic" (not to be confused with elasticity like rubber), and much more flexible.

- Density
Next to this, there is the density. Now, more dense substances = more mass. More mass=bigger molecules. Because sound is based on kinetic energy that travels from one point to another, moving through denser objects means it has to use more energy, seeing as it has to move (vibrate) larger molecules. This however is used for substances with the same elastic properties.

To explain this take two examples with nearly the same elastic properties. Gold and aluminum (Gold = 10.8 psi; aluminum = 10 psi). While they nearly have the same elastic properties, gold is much denser, so it will travel faster through aluminum than gold.

Questions, opinions and thoughts please. You obviously know the basic stuff since you're a sensei and a skilled RPer so I will not bother with doing the stupid routine training. I want to make this into a discussion of sorts to see your opinions on the jutsu themselves as well as their usability, etc.

Alright, I like the sound of this (pun intended).

Regarding different frequencies. Can I manipulate the frequency of all sound techniques to be lower (if I want to disorient my opponent) or higher (to damage them)? What kind of effect does it have if I keep the sound technique in the frequency heard by the human? What happens then?

In a fight I saw Scorps say that Sound is weak to wood since wood is one of the best insulators against sound? How come the same doesn't apply to earth?

Can I make the sound waves completely unhearable for them to still have some effects?

If the technique doesn't specify frequencies etc. but just a generic effect then that's all you can do. Basically, no you don't have free form manipulation of the frequency unless the technique allows you to. I don't get it, other than him being able to hear the sound he would also feel the effects. If it's closer to infrasound then he would feel those effects, etc.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Objects can't stop soundwaves. They can dampen them but not completely. Depending on the frequency you can destroy wood so I'm not exactly sure how wood is strong against sound. It's a solid and sound at a specific frequency can destroy any solid. All you need is the resonating frequency.

Yeah, that's the whole point. It's called infrasound and ultrasound.

Alright I think it's pretty clear to me now. So basically what's the best way to counter a sound technique excluding wind?

What's next?

What's next?

Completely counter? Hm, how about wind? lol, wind is so good against it because it disrupts the air and the flow/oscillation/frequency of the soundwaves. The other elements like water, earth, wood, etc. can only dampen it a bit but can't completely stop it and only if it's not the resonating frequency of that specific material. What's also important is that more solidity > faster and easier sound propagation thus why sound is much faster in water than in air, and even faster within earth.

Now, I want you to mold sound chakra, channel it into your vocal chords and scream while simultaneously releasing the chakra to enhance the soundwaves.

Understood.

Shaak Ti channels her chakra through her body merging her wind and lightning chakras inside her solar plexus, creating the new chakra, sound chakra. He then focuses that chakra throughout his body adn channels it upwards through her chakra pathways all the way to her throat. Focusing the chakra in her vocal chords, Shaak Ti screams releasing sound from her speaking apparatus. She uses the chakra she gathered to enhance the soundwaves release at the same time she screams.

You're a bloody transgender! HAHA! Give me back đovani, you ho.

Yes, that's basically it. This is the technique in question.

(Ototon: Himei Zetsubou no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Scream of Despair Skill
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Defense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/a
Description: The user concentrating chakra into their vocal cords enhancing throat chakra lets out a scream that travels extremely fast in which can be used to deflect projectiles and send opponents flying.
Note: Travels at 315 speed

As you can see, it's a simple technique that also allows you to deflect simple projectiles, mainly weapons. However, to be able to do this it has to be a high frequency soundwave instead of a low frequency one. Regarding the speed note, sorry but I really don't know how fast that actually is. Yes sound is insanely fast but I'm not sure about the note and I think that will be getting a revamp pretty soon enough so forget about it for now. Questions?

 

[-Cobalt-]

Is the frequency of the technique manipulative? Other than that no questions.

Nope, it's a high frequency (high pitched) scream. There's not much to it. Next technique.

(Ototon: Naiteki Ne no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Inner Sonar Skill
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user enhancing their hearing by utilizing chakra and enfusing their sound waves from their mouth. With their breathing sound waves emerge and bounce off of objects having them know wherever everything is around them.

Ah, this lovely technique. For training purposes you will have to close your eyes. Use this bandage. Hands over bandage. So, what you have to do is similar to your previous technique except that you channel the chakra into your ears. Then you observe the surroundings and sync your hearing with your breath and hear as it bounces off of objects. The distance, angles, frequencies, etc give you the ability to imagine the whole battlefield and everything in its perfect position without even looking at it. It works similar or rather same as with bats. They project supersonic waves that bounce off objects telling them distances shapes and stuff. I'll be moving around and reading my book out loud while you try to follow me.

As Shaak Ti's eyes were bound she took a deep breath. She focused her chakra into her ears into the main parts which are responsible for receiving sound. That way she enhances her sense of hearing to a much greater degree, being able to perceive the slightest sounds on the field. She then tries to sync her hearing with her breathing, using her own breath as sort of a guide using it to hear everything around her. Her breath bounces off of the different objects, her ears gathering all the information and processing them giving her a somewhat clear picture of the surroundings. Shaak Ti then focuses her senses onto Barney listening to him as he reads. She halts before starting to follow him asking a question.

"You can read?!"

She then refocuses on her senses switching from hearing the surrounding to get a clear picture of where she is going, to listening to Barney to be able to clearly perceive him and follow him.

As I keep moving around you in a circle and clearly reading out of the book, I reach for the pouch with my other hand and I throw a kunai at you. I repeat this a few more times to make sure you can pinpoint all of them and avoid them in time.

Ask your mom. I've read her a lot of sleep stories.

Shaak Ti keeps focusing her chakra, the process being already easy for her as she got accustomed to it. She marks the circular trajectory of Barney and hears him draw a kunai from his pouch using the sound waves. As he draws the kunai and throws it she draws a kunai of her own from her pouch, deflecting each kunai she sends at him while still keeping track of his location and movements as he reads, remembering the words he speaks.

Question, what would happen if something really loud happened with this technique active? I'm sure there are some drawbacks to this.

Yeah there are, but we're awesome people aren't we? We can filter out sounds we want to hear and focus on frequencies we find important. However, this needs complete sound mastery and extensive knowledge.

As the kunai collide it's obvious that you're getting the grip of it. Maybe you need to work on your reflexes a bit but you're on a good way.

So that's basically it. You get the hang of the technique?

(Ototon: Sumakku Te no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Clapping Hands Skill
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user charges chakra into the palms of there hands, and then smash them together. The force creates chakra infused sound waves which can be used to disperse oncoming jutsu(only works on C-Rank or below jutsu).
Note: Travels at 450 speed

This jutsu requires you to gather sound chakra in your hands and clap them together. This forces a strong soundwave to burst forward. Because of its frequency it is able to disperse oncoming jutsu, however, only up to C rank, included. It's a directional blast, that travels forward and is aimed at jutsus. Since sound weakens with distance the sooner it hits the jutsu the better the dispersion. It doesn't work directly on opponents.

Does this work on all jutsu, energy based (lightning, fire) as well or only solid? Just to make sure.

Shaak Ti channels chakra into her palms focusing it carefully into her palms. Once ready she slams her palms together, the contact between her palms expelling the chakra releasing a sound wave from her palms which dispels and oncoming attack heading towards her.

It works on all justu but it follows the weaknesses and strengths.

(Ototon: Basuto Houmen no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Sonic Release Skill
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers chakra either around their fist, arm, or leg and then charge towards their opponent. With that area of their body having that chakra infused with it upon utilizing an attack with either of those areas it causes a release of sonic vibrations that act as a secondary blow.that makes the opponent unable to use what ever body part is hit for 1 turn.Even if the opponent manages to evade, chances are they still will be hit by the sonic release.If thats the case this jutsus damage is halved.
Note: Travels at 395 speed

Now this one is neat. You basically charge a limb with sound chakra and you strike your opponent. The strike will be followed up by a sonic wave that you release with your chakra. This gives you the ability for a 100% hit, because even if he manages to avoid the strike, he will be hit by the sonic wave.
