Daily Mail: Scientists claim 'sonic attacks' in Cuba were likely caused by poorly engineered eavesdropping devices
* US embassy workers in Cuba fell ill after hearing high-pitch sounds
* The 'sonic attacks' were experienced in their homes and hotel rooms
* It was thought that 'sonic weapons' might have been used against them
* Scientists at the University of Michigan believe that poorly engineered eavesdropping devices might've produced the painful sound
* If true, the 'sonic attacks' on the workers would have been accidental
Scientists believe the root of a 'sonic attack' that led to the US State Department recalling 21 employees and reducing staff from its embassy in Cuba could've just been 'bad engineering.'
In September 2017, the State Department pulled 21 diplomats and their families out of Cuba and stopped issuing travel visas to the country after embassy workers reported hearing loss, dizziness, speech issues, cognitive problems and other medical symptoms that appeared to stem from a 'sonic attack' in their homes or hotel rooms.
Some Canadian embassy workers also reported feeling ill from a high-pitched noise.
