Gangstalkers use technology based mainly sound. They continuously target a number of muscle spot with sonic beams and in some cases EMF field to make muscles contract and to achieve greater vibrations. Muscles are used to maintain minor over the body vibrations that carry sound waves. These are used in combination with sound coming from the air for electronic harassment people hear. The muscles and body vibrations are used to monitor person's communication and in combination with inner ear tensor muscles, neck and laryngeal muscles, and muscles in the neck and back of the head to gain access to internally spoken thoughts, and add short phrases heard internally as thoughts in an attempted mind control. Sonic and EMF weapons that cause minor tissue damage in combination with muscle vibrations are used to cause greater pain and other health issues which is part of harassment victims experience.
The author of this document became a victim of gang stalkers in 2024 and in the process learned about their methods and technology which is described in this document. Gangstalkers are an organized network of gangs around the world that harass and target people in many places using electronic harassment and techniques akin to psychological torture. They stress people to the limit to break them so they would fear them and do what they want. They use technologies based on sound to harass, to monitor communications and thoughts, and to cause pain.
The author of this document has a Ph.D with several other degrees in physical and social sciences, and worked for 20 years as an independent software developer. The targeting started after a criminal group invaded the apartment building at the end of 2023 replacing some of the residents. The apartment below became their local headquarters. All other residents fled by May 2024. People who replaced them used their names and cars left behind. The gang is part of a worldwide network of gangs, which the author verified traveling to multiple countries in Europe and being followed everywhere. They are NOT the government as some believe they use false identities and tell lies about who they are. They are bullies and crooks who harass people to get what they want and damage their lives, do other crimes (break into homes, minor theft, assault) and use acoustic weapons against people to damage their physical and psychological health.
They use sound to harass targets everywhere while trying to hide who is doing it and how. They use mainly directed sound with various tricks and illusions and can make it appear other people in stores and public places are talking about you (using harmonics with missing fundamental and other tricks), a real perpetrator would hide nearby with their phone. What some think are sounds in their heads comes through the ears or throat (laryngeal muscles). The core of their technology involved targeting and muscles. From a close range using devices similar to sonicators (hand-held sonic “lasers”) they target a small area of a muscle to create a standing wave and continue to target it continuously after. Sonicators can be used to cause pain, larger versions of these, known also as sonic homogenizers, are used as medical instruments and in some labs to break down tissue using cavitation. Activated muscle spots (1-2 mm diameter) vibrate at a resonance frequency and can be targeted by a sound beam for a long time. These are used to monitor a person’s location and their movements (even through the walls), to cause pain, muscle twitching, muscle spasms and muscle contraction - all using outside sonic beams.

What people hear as part of their electronic harassment mainly comes through the ears and can be blocked using tight headsets and white noise. A target may hear near silent voice(s) meant to be misinterpreted as thoughts, but really coming from other people nearby. A second “hidden” channel is an automated stream that constantly runs phrases meant to be used for harassment and which a target may hear in someone else’s talk or more load inside the head. This channel has a different base frequency and is usually targeted directed to the ear(s) using inner ear temper tympany or outer ear auricularis muscles - tiny vibrations above or on the side of the ear would reveal this. Tightly squeezing the headset may reveal a high 7-8kHz voice, other frequencies noticed using sound measuring applications include 12-16kHz and 20-25kHz. These are meant to be interpreted by the brain as a 2nd and higher harmonics with missing fundamental 1-3kHz coming from overheard speech of other people. As described below the phrases from this channel are further sent to vocal cords to be interpreted as an inner monologue during someone’s speech.
The picture is for illustration only It is from this USA today article| about technology to do directed sound to person's ears while tracking their movements. Gangstalkers use a similar technique that use inner ear tensor tympani or outer ear auricularis muscles for targeting and tracking; The directed sound voice stream to the ears is separate than a standing waves that track the muscles. This sound stream is missing fundamental harmonics and can not normally be heard, Audible frequencies come from noises and overheard speech of other people. For telepathy the speech from the stream is sent to vocal cords to make it appear as if its inner speech

The second channel is meant to stay hidden, but is revealed when listening to white noise. White noise is a random sample of sounds of different frequencies and volume from the entire audible range (20hz-20kHz). It can be generated with many applications or downloaded from https://audio.com/white_noise/collections/white-noise-collection It acts as a jammer for most outside sound, but also reveals sound sources sent as higher harmonics by providing enough random samples of fundamental frequencies in 1-3kHz range for the brain to make these audible. White noise is best used with good noise-reducing headphones, which on their own can block much of outside sounds. If headphones are not tight enough the sounds may mainly be from outside or a combination if 2nd channel is sent by directed sound to auricularis muscles. This may be ok, but if you want only the 2nd channel, then make a tight head wrap around it and the head from cloth or other material. Listening to white noise may result in hearing the channel 24/7, but it is better than hearing telepathic voices as if they are thoughts or various other harassment from outside. The amplification of the channel coming through white noise can be reduced with ear plugs and by adjusting player volume.
With the 2nd channel and white noise, you’d get access to several automated messages (sometimes they go to the first channel or both) including “it’s not working” if any beam is interrupted, and “we lost control” if interruption continues further. Placing a hand over a vibrating spot or using HDPE cutting board or other shield, could result in such messages. After 2-5 minutes the spot may not have a beam hitting, however if it is important there would be an increase of power and you may feel pain. More sound-proofing materials are needed then.
Several sound beams target back of the head, the neck, and the tongue and are are used for telepathy. The system is based on that vocal cords and tongue move during inner monologue and relies on a person regularly exercising their inner speech, otherwise the telepathic link could break.
Sound beams constantly targeting a muscle are like a standing wave and allow for a 2-way transmission. This is used to monitor the person’s communications and even internally spoken thoughts known as internal monologue. Beam to the back of the head targets Splenius Capitis or another muscle that goes from the back of the head to the shoulder along the throat and vocal cords. Tiny vibrations at the back of the head and the neck would reveal it (in a rare case the beam hits the front of the head). People have noticed this but misunderstood it as v2k. This is a primary synthetic telepathy stream, it transmits almost silent sounds from the first channel to vocal cords and transmits back vocal cord sounds. Parts of the larynx (vocal cord muscles) may also be targeted to make it move along with telepathic transmission. Several other laryngeal muscles such as omohyoid act as buffers and can both transmit words to the larynx and record words if a person continues the phrase. The person is encouraged to continue the phrase they start as part of their internal monologue without realizing it. The system is based on that vocal cords move during inner monologue and relies on a person regularly using inner speech. During inner speech some phrases are near silent repeating in the background which is necessary to “read” vocal cords. The system can break if a person does not talk internally and/or is able to exercise control of their vocal cords and stop larynx movements. To avoid it they encourage talking and try to make sure people repeat phrases they hear as inner speech. The phrases are first repeated many times while vibrating the larynx to make the brain notice it and later automatically repeat as inner monologue. Then it works in conjunction with pseudo-telepathic transmission to the ears, even if it is near silent. But it can break in a fully silent environment or if a person's attention is diverted and they ignore all sounds. To avoid it gangstalkers add noises (door slamming and others) and use pain to prevent concentrating on work and other tasks. Scientists knew that vocal cords can move during inner monologue, but achieved reading of thoughts by monitoring neural activity in the parts of the brain responsible for speech.

Though most don’t notice, it could feel like vocal cords are pushed slightly off the back of the throat, and upper and/or lower parts are being vibrated. You can try to stop it by trying to push the vocal cords to a silent position at the back. Holding a speaker at the back of the head and neck playing loud white noise helps with this exercise and reveals what phrases are sent to the larynx (sometimes different than channel 1 or 2). By exercising the larynx and trying to stop its movements a person can make sure the phrase is not continued and internally perceived as thoughts, which eventually breaks the telepathy. Not paying attention to their harassment and telepathic voices may do the same for some people. If this begins to happen they would attempt to send a voice stream to the lower part of the larynx using a muscle behind it. This is usually automated harassment from the 2nd channel and similar to training the phrases. Normally recorded inner speech is sent to the 2nd channel which may or may not be automatic (it appears they hear more). Exercising the larynx would result in “we lost control” and “what’s happening” automate messages on the 2nd channel. If a repeat or continuation of a phrase does not happen this results in “<phrase> is not working” (i.e. “you are … is not working”, “we think … is not working”) message and later leads to “we lost control” and then “what’s happening”.
One of the ways to end telepathic monitoring is to get full control of your vocal cords (larynx). You can try to do it by trying to push the vocal cords to a silent position at the back when you hear telepathic transmission. Holding a speaker at the back of the head and neck playing loud white noise helps with this exercise. If you can't exercise larynx well on your own you'd need to do it regularly during and after exercise of the larynx, and consider sleeping with the speaker in the back.
Another set of sound beams monitors what targeted individuals hear in their ears. It targets tensor tympani muscles in the middle ear. These muscles can close the inner ear depending on the volume of sounds. Half of the people can directly use them and silence sounds they hear in either ear. If you can do it, you can silence their voice communication and harassment phrases momentarily, however the “thoughts” transmission may still be heard unless the larynx was previously exercised to stop repeating the phrases. If you close your ear with this muscle it interrupts the audio monitoring and results in “its not working” and “we lost control” messages.
With close access to a person (such as an apartment next to them) the gang can activate a large number of muscles as potential targets for pain and other issues. While typically this is done when a person is asleep, they may do it while a person is awake including even outside if a gang member is close. In many cases this feels like a needle penetrating a skin somewhere, the target is a muscle below the skin which then starts to be vibrated with a sound beam. Activated spots with active beams targeting them are known as “controls”. These spots can be noticed on a body as minor pulsating (vibrating) spots on the skin. Such active spots can be used to have the muscle twitch a little which may have a momentary pain associated with it. Increased vibrations would result in a pan felt at the spot. Exercising the muscle interrupts the beam, decreases vibrations, and makes this pain go away. The beam can also be interrupted with a hand, water bottle, cutting board made from HDPE plastic, thick piece of metal or glass, and other sound absorbing or blocking materials. For spots and beams meant to cause pain the gangs primarily use low audible frequencies (20hz - 1khz) and infrasound (5hz - 20hz) which penetrate further and are more difficult to block. Ultrasound (>20kHz) may be used in addition to low frequencies too.
Sonic “zap” guns are phones and pads used by gang members to target previously activated spots and cause pain no matter if there is an active beam hitting it or it was previously active and still vibrates a little to be a target. These hits are felt as either zaps or heat burns and can cause muscle spasm which lasts 10-30 minutes and has some pain associated with it. Trying to exercise the muscle could get rid of the pain faster. Another common use is to specifically cause pain to the spot that has an active beam, stronger pain is felt due to under-skin burning of vibrated soar tissue and is similar to cavitation. Similar burning is also done for the entire foot which has many pain spots from needle-like hits to each small muscle. Best protection for this is polyurethane foam, which can be put in the shoes (get larger size wider pair) and worn under cloth - tightly squeezed 2” sound-proof foam sheets work well and are very inexpensive.

Wider beams are also used to create pain spots. When these beams start it feels like minor hits at a specific spot about cm diameter. These “wider” beams are actually made up of many tiny beams in a lattice. Once the tissue has been vibrated it would be sore and more substantial pain can be felt in the larger area such as the front of the shoulder or the back. Pain can be caused there with non-directional or omni-directional sound from less powerful hand-held devices (same as with a foot). Cutting boards made from HDPE can be used as shields, but to fully block pain more than 1” HDPE panel is needed. Exercising and massaging the area may also help.
Various other issues are also caused by sonic beams and activated mussels in different areas:
They can make muscles contract making it appear that they can control the victim's movements. This may feel as if someone is trying to pull you to the left or right side. But they can not actually control the movements and make muscles move a person in any direction, a person still exercises control over all their muscles and movements and they are hoping they’d follow where they are being pulled to. Ignore these attempts and go where you want. They may not repeat it once they know a person knows they don’t really have body movement control.
For males they can make a person want to pee by targeting penis with a sonic beam. Typically this can be resisted. You can feel the beam as a stream of air with a hand and block it in front. Body armor has parts for the groin area and if it is made from Dyneema would protect similar to HDPE -shield. But it may be easier to go to the bathroom regularly and make sure you’re empty.
They can make a person want to go to the bathroom and experience stomach and diarrhea like issues. People have mistaken this for food positing which it is not. There are two mechanisms. First involves using low-frequency sounds which have the effect on vestibular apparatus in the ear causing nausea and stomach issues. Second and most common mechanism is based on targeting anal and abdominal muscles. Using anal area muscles they can make a small amount of stool to come out with gases and for a feeling of wanting to go to the bathroom. Putting a board made from ½” HDPE under your seat would help alleviate the feeling. Muscles in the abdominal area below the stomach are targeted from the front and are used to vibrate the stomach, you may even hear bubbling for periods of time. The result of this includes soft stool and leaking water, some may experience stomach pain. Putting paper in the underwear may help to deal with small amounts of stool. Best defense is keeping anal area shot by minor contraction of these muscles which prevents them from attempting to use them. If you can keep anal area shot all the time, they may stop targeting abdominal muscles. That beam may be blocked temporarily with a hand or if you hear bubbles, body armor may help too. Going to the bathroom in the morning or evening to get rid of any water and gases is good enough.
For softening stool and adding gas they target muscles in abdominal left below the stomach, and make them contract as a vibrator. If you hear bubbles in the stomach its likely result of that. These exercises may help and lead to their loss of use of the muscle. Going for a walk, hike, run, or bike ride can also help.
They can create problems with eye focus while reading or working on a computer. This is done by targeting orbital muscles above and below the eyelid and making the eyelid twitch to the side a little. Further they may be able to target rectus muscles inside the eye which are responsible for eye movements, which can cause more substantial loss of focus with a twitch. In addition to loss of focus light spots may appear and disappear in the eye and there could be other issues such as a red eye allergy. The way to deal with this is to hold a hand over the eye for 5-20 minutes which should disrupt these beams and result in loss of control spots on these muscles.
They can make it appear that there is an interruption in someone else’s speech. The interruption is with hearing audio in your ear which is done by contraction of tensor tympani muscle there. This sound interruption is typically combined with twitching of muscles in the neck. This is a minor issue and you can still hear almost all of what the other person says and should ignore this. If this is done often and you can flex tensor tympani muscles on your own, do it regularly.
Shivering and whole body vibrations are a result of twitching at several spots. Itching is similar but limited to a specific body area. Activated muscle spots may exist on shoulders, bottocks, neck, foot, hands, and other areas. Twitching is minor at any spot, if it's one side to the other together these can make it appear that a whole body is experiencing vibrations and shivering. Vibrating spots may result in itching, centered on the spots. Best defense for minor twitching spots is polyurethane foam over the skin where these spots are. They may also be blocked with HDPE shields on a temporary basis. Baby skin cream may help to alleviate itchiness.
There are various health issues associated with low frequency sounds and infrasound and their effects on vestibular apparatus in the ear. In addition to nausea, these include stomach pain, balance problems and potentially coughing fits, brain fog and heart palpitations. Some of these may be the result of multi-spot twitching described in the prior paragraph. Noise-reducing tight headphones and ear plugs would help if these are due to sound coming to the ears.
Some noises are sent directly to auricularis muscles. These may be sirens, alarm sounds, door slamming, garbage truck loading, and others. They first try to find what is most annoying using real sounds and then set noise sounds to be repeated regularly. You can check if the mussels in the outer ear are used by placing a finger behind your ear and checking for vibration when the sound comes. If it is true, try to interrupt the beam by holding the finger there for 5-20 minutes.
Other health issues may include bone and joint aches. Pain in joints may seem like it is bone ache, but is usually from muscles. Over the counter medicine for bone aches may still help.

They interfere with sleep patterns in several ways which includes both trying to prevent sleep and trying to put a person into sleep (sedation). Sleep deprivation is a common interrogation method to keep a person stressed to disrupt psychologically. Load sounds are used when a person starts to feel sleepy (which they can potentially monitor as part of sounds and thoughts and/or eyelid muscles). They also use muscle twitching and minor pain to try to keep someone from falling asleep or to awaken them. While it's best not to pay attention to these activities (eventually you’d go to sleep when the body needs it even with their disruptions), some of these can be dealt with. To help with load sounds you may try noise-cancelling headphones that play white noise, which helps with sleep. Taking melatonin or other sleeping pills can also help. If you awake at night, start counting. If your mind wanders away, start at 1 again. Don't pick up the phone, don’t look at the clock, don’t do anything interesting - you want to bore yourself to sleep. More generally what is important is trying to be less stressed, good diet and exercise, keeping up self-confidence and not allowing yourself to think negatively about yourself and your future.
Gangs may attempt to influence your dreams. This is done by using telepathy with outside audio being sent to vocal cords in an attempt to make it appear the voice(s) are internal. Sound and voices in the dreams are related to inner monologue and what you hear may then come from outside and be heard while you are dreaming. This may also allow the brain to show certain objects in the dream or make dreams about them, for example saying “spider” may result in a dream with spiders. This is related to subliminal messaging and phenomena people knew about for a long time that occasionally works. Their system has a better chance of working because there are common neurons in the brain which do processing for outside audio, inner monologue, and in-dream sounds. This is not at all guaranteed to work, but they can sometimes achieve it and use it to cause a bad dream as part of their harassment, and to show their powers.
They can try to put a person to sleep, from a few minutes to more than an hour, which here is called sedation (the author knows that gangs use the word “sedation” but is not sure if it meant this or something else). Mechanism is unclear and may involve implanted micro drops of drugs activated by certain muscles, or carotid sinus syncope which involves squeezing carotid artery and leads to monetary reduction of blood supply to the brain which can cause dizziness and fainting. While the head feels lightheaded when it happens, it also typically involves minor needle-like sound hits somewhere else. When the beam hits, they also send a word heard as an inner monologue that directs what a person may see. After that a mini dream results in which they can participate and provide voices that a person hears in the dream as described prior. Additional use is if you stop using inner monologue and/or repeating of the phrases and telepathy begins to fail, these “dreams” add inner speech and prevent disconnection.
Initial targeting may start as sound harassment, directed sound plays outside, libel, and other methods. Once a gang is close enough to a person to use sonicators (quite often due to being apartment neighbors) and can activate their muscles, they become 24/7 stocked and monitored. They would continue to stock an actuated target on foot and in cars even if they move. They need to be able to be around them in most or all directions for sound beams to work and for telepathy and communication monitoring to work. Some areas make it difficult and those who move to low populated areas such as desert or woods (which may have no place for a car to park and shoot from most sides) may find that are no longer regular active targets.
Most hand-held devices are not as powerful but some cars have more powerful sound projectors. The distance from which they can shoot is unclear but may be as high as ½ mile in the open air and no barriers. In close range they can penetrate 1 meter thick cement walls and shoot through several brick or wooden buildings, but they do have limits and thick building walls and metal (such as in the elevator shaft) is not something they can easily get through. Due to this gangstalkers try to get people on foot and be near them in shopping malls and other public places. People on foot use devices that look like cell phones and pads, but likely have many tiny directional sound transducers on all sides and auto-targeting capabilities that allow them to continue targeting activated muscle spots and keep a person in a sound field as they move. All devices are inter-networked to work together. It appears that some of their people use telepathy as well, both to communicate among each other, and with a targeted person whose thoughts and communications they monitor, and who they may try to harass at all times. You can find gang members and cars that have directed sound beams pointing to you by putting a hand out in front and trying to feel if there is an air flow coming to a specific hand spot from them. You may further consider wearing smart glasses with a camera to film gang members and cars.
Methods to deal with gangstalkers include psychological, medical (biological), and physical. Not losing hope and allowing gaslighting and other techniques they use to get you is the most important. If you can put gangstalkers out of your mind and not use internal monologue you may break synthetic telepathic link on your own and not be of much interest to them after. Since their system relies on access to muscles in the neck, ear and other places, it may be possible to disrupt it by medical means - consult the doctors. Physical methods are based on blocking sound and the following protection techniques are primarily about that.
If you can put gangstalkers out of your mind and not use internal monologue you may break synthetic telepathic link on your own and/or not be of much interest to them.
Sound beams and waves can be interrupted and protected against by sound absorbing and blocking (sound proofing) materials. Sound-proofing materials are plastics and other synthetics, metals, glass, and concrete. Rigid synthetics (fiberglass, mineral wool, polyurethane) are the most popular and cost-effective for sound-proofing. HDPE, acrylic, polyester plastics also absorb and reflect the sound well. HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is the best against gang’s low frequency sound beams, concrete is also good, while synthetics are not as good to protect against low frequencies. 2” fiberglass panels or ¼” HDPE is enough to reveal sound streams as vibrations. However 10“ - 12” of rigid materials AND 2” or more of HDPE are needed to protect against gangs’ acoustic weapons and interrupt all beams. Half of that may be enough to stop the pain. Higher density fiberglass or mineral wool (6# per sq ft) with 2-4” thickness are best. Layers of materials with different properties can be used and separated by air gaps for better protection. Concrete blocks can be used for air gaps as porous concrete with >20% air gaps can block infrasound well. Best reflectors are concrete, glass and heavy metal, water also reflects the sound well. These can be used as barriers outside or part of a sound-proof design inside. 2” thick steel may block all sounds but is quite expensive.

To build a sound-proof room it is recommended to choose an area of the house with cement walls all around, preferably partially or fully underground basement which by itself would make it hard for gangs to shoot beams to. Full sound-proofing is quite expensive - about $25 per sq ft for 12” thick mineral wool or fiberglass panels (typically sold as 4 panels 2” thick 24”x48”) and $40 per sq ft for 2” HDPE (two 1” thick 24”x48” panels). Sound-proof walls should consist of 2-4 sections with porous concrete or 2” air gap between. Polyurethane foam can replace mineral wood or fiberglass in one of the sections. In the basement the floor need not be as thick and can have 2-4” fiberglass or polyurethane and ½” HDPE. Outside of the house concrete walls can be built as additional sound-proof barriers, the thicker the better.

Cutting boards made from HDPE plastic can be used as shields to disrupt pain causing beams. Water bottles can also work. Bathtub can provide partial relief.
HDPE can be used as shields against sound beams. Easily available are cutting boards which are often made from HDPE, though most are not thick, 2-4 can to be used together for a ¼” - ½” shield. You can also buy small boards made from HDPE in many places, including:
Water bottles can also be used as shields as water reflects most sound. Taking a bath would give some comfort and offer partial protection against the gang’s sonic weapons, relieving some of the pain. Bathtubs can also reveal the presence of sound beams and you may see a wave emanating from a specific spot on a side. If you regularly listen to white-noise, consider getting a water resistant bluetooth mp3 player speaker for when you’re taking a bath. Due to being filled with liquid cold packs can also offer some wearable protection for pain spots gangs target most. Polyurethane is inexpensive rigid plastic with average-good sound-proofing qualities for mos frequencies. Memory foam mattresses made from polyurethane are widely available and can provide some protection against attempts to cause pain when you sleep. Polyurethane foam can help prevent pain if placed tightly over the body in places they try to activate pain in. It can be wrapped around feet and placed under cloth, neck and back of the head pillow can be made to protect these areas. Polyester is regularly used in shoes, a good option is neurotrophic xxx-wide larger size with space to add polyurethane foam, rubber absorbs sound too and is good for the shoe bottom. Best clothing materials are cotton-acrylic blend, cotton, polyester, velour, polyurethane, kevlar as they can absorb some sound and thick clothing made of these may partially protect against sonic guns. Armored vests made from Dyneema (a form of UHDPE) offers most wear protection but does cover areas they target most with sonic guns.
This document is a summary of the sound based technologies used by the gangstalkers and protection methods against these. It is an update for the public release of a larger research paper about gang stalking which is work in progress and does not include all details at the time of the release of this summary. The most recent draft of that paper can be found at: https://app.box.com/s/pi6215dajt3m2kxactutldl8zss36jns
Feel free to share this document with people who are being targeted or need information on how gangstalkers operate and their technology. The author believes that widespread knowledge about what gang stalkers do and how is the best way to deal with the issue. It would need to be followed by political actions and pressure to get authorities in many countries involved to investigate the complaints, find those responsible, and stop their harmful activities.
