- The 4400: In "Try the Pie", Billy gains the ability to produce a sonic scream after injecting himself with promicin. He uses it to incapacitate Tom so that he can't escape from Evanston.
- A one-shot villain in Alphas was introduced as having sonar powers. It turned out that his abilities were much more dangerous, allowing him to weaken buildings with gradual vibrations, and finally flat-out blast people.
- Lorne of Angel can hold a song note at any pitch, pretty much forever. His screams brought several demons to their knees holding their ears in pain, and, judging from the background noise, it can shatter glass as well. The real irony is that where he comes from, singing in general is considered a sonic weapon because they have no concept of music; he's viewed as something akin to a Person of Mass Destruction with none of a nuclear warhead's huggableness. In a multi-episode arc where the group goes to his home dimension, he holds off a lynch mob by bursting into a Mo-town number (until someone rides by on a horse and just knocks him out).
- Arrowverse:
- The franchise's first take on the Black Canary, Sara Lance, carries a sonic-emitting device which is meant more to disorient than hurt people and mainly used to announce her presence rather than as a genuine combat tool. After Sara dies, her sister, Laurel, inherits her mantle and the device. She has Cisco Ramon modify the device, amplifying it and enabling it to be worn as a choker, so all she has to do to activate the device is scream.
- Black Siren, Laurel's Earth-2 counterpart introduced near the end of The Flash season 2, has an organic Canary Cry that the comics' Black Canary is known for, as she is a metahuman. The scream is several orders of magnitude more powerful than the sonic device; it can genuinely hurt and kill people and even bring down buildings if she concentrates her power. Also, unlike the sonic device, there is a visual cue whenever the Cry is used.
- One of the new recruits from Arrow season 5, Dinah Drake, has an organic Canary Cry much like Black Siren, though her scream is different (probably because Juliana Harkavy has a Contralto Of Danger). In the season finale, there is a scene where she and Black Siren try to blast one another at close range. Naturally, both are flung back by the force of their screams interacting. In season 7, Dinah has her throat slit by the Star City Slayer and loses her Canary Cry as a result (this gets undone after the Crisis).
- Siren-X, Laurel's Earth-X counterpart introduced in The Flash season 4, relies on her Canary Cry for pretty much everything, unlike her Earth-2 counterpart who Fights Like a Normal (in her defense, she is undoubtedly the most powerful Black Canary incarnation in the multiverse). This proves to be her weakness as she gets knocked out of the game after Barry figures out how to avoid her screams.
- Supergirl has the Rogues' Gallery Transplant Siobhan Smythe (Silver Banshee), whose metahuman ability of excruciating screams is passed down through the female line of her family.
- Mika from Danger Force has this power, hence her superhero name "ShoutOut".
- Doctor Who:
- In "The Ice Warriors", Victoria screams to cause a Hair-Trigger Avalanche that kills the Ice Warrior coming after her.
- In the story "Fury of the Deep", Victoria's screaming defeated the seaweed creature.
- Doom Patrol (2019): Revealed to be Kay’s power, with her scream both destroying the Underground and causing the Doom Manor bus to crash violently.
- Jool from Farscape. Notable in that her scream melts metal. Which others have weaponized simply by scaring or hurting her, particularly on her feet, and as she's a Spoiled Rich Bitch, she screams a lot (much to the frustration of the rest of the crew). Becomes Cursed with Awesome when she gets handcuffed.
- In the CBBC series Freephonix one of the three 'Freewavers' and Protectors of the 'Thirteenth Note' can use her singing voice as a weapon.
- In the short-lived Inhumans show, Black Bolt, like in the comics, can do incredible damage with barely a whisper, much less a shout. In a flashback, we learn that he accidentally killed his parents with a question "Why?" Since then he's trained himself to never utter a sound under any circumstances, even in his sleep.
Reed Richards: Wanda, the Black Bolt can destroy you with one whisper from his mouth.
- Kamen Rider OOO: The Orca Medal gives OOO echolocation powers.
- In The Librarian Simone Renoir shatters all the windows of a defunct abbey-turned-nightclub with a single high C. Of course she is a vampiric opera singer who's had centuries keep her voice well trained. More importantly, she was standing in the one spot in the abbey that would amplify her voice to levels loud enough to shatter all the windows.
- Queen Mab from the 1998 miniseries Merlin. Apparently, she was the inspiration for the myth of the banshee.
- From the other Merlin is Mordred. On being surrounded by knights he lets loose a terrible scream which kills them all.
- Also Morgana, who lets loose a scream that causes destruction and structural damage to the castle after Morgause is badly wounded.
- Merlin has this ability as part of his dragon lord powers. It's not used that often, but when he does break it out, be prepared to get thrown into solid objects at high speeds.
- Motherland: Fort Salem: The witches' vocalizations can knock enemies off their feet, and even call up storms.
- In Power Rangers Zeo, the Monster of the Week Boo-Hoo the Clown put a curse on a baby that caused his crying to do this by accident.
- Raised by Wolves (2020). Necromancer androids use a high-pitched scream that makes enemy soldiers explode into a cloud of blood and gore.
- Catalina's Sonic Blast on Space Cases, which apparently all people from Saturn have.
- BRIAN BLESSED, though not in Real Life (As far as we know..!) is portrayed this way in Spitting Image.
- Teen Wolf has Lydia, who turns out to be a banshee. Her scream won't do sustained damage, but it will daze people and shatter glass.
- In season 5B, we learn that it can do far more than that. A few voice training sessions with fellow banshee Meredith reveal that her scream can grievously injure and even kill people at maximum power. Gabriel Valack learns this the hard way after forcibly amplifying Lydia's abilities. In the finale, Lydia's supernatural voice allows her to banish the spirit of the Beast of Gevaudan by shouting the name of its host.
