>Mr Wixey has been in contact with manufacturers to help them develop defences that can act if a device is being made to produce dangerous sounds. Seems like a lame cash grab. A compromised vehicle could potentially emit sounds disruptive enough to cause an accident, but that's not what the article addresses. It seems to think there's some sort of threat from weaponized bluetooth speakers and headphones. In reality nobody would sit there and let these devices damage their hearing. They would either de-power or destroy the device or move away from it. I'm not familiar with any set of headphones powerful enough to permanently damage hearing in the moment it would take a user to snatch them off their head.
