Arte Radio Examines Sonic Warfare in "La Guerre sonore"

In the episode "La Guerre sonore," part of Arte Radio's "Profils" program, director Servane d'Alverny examines acoustic harassment and torture as a traumatic phenomenon that largely escapes public awareness. The broadcast, reviewed by Le Monde, presents sound as a weapon of mass destruction. Because sonic violence leaves no physical traces, the program characterizes it as an almost perfect crime. The episode focuses on the use of sound waves to inflict suffering, a practice the review describes as both unthought and fascinating. The work was released on Arte Radio, the audio platform of the Franco-German cultural channel Arte, and the article reviewing it appeared on lemonde.fr on September 11, 2026, in the newspaper's culture section.
