* Helva, ''Literature/TheShipWho Sang'' is [[ManInTheMachine as a shellperson]] unable to breathe or open her mouth, but learned how to develop a BeautifulSingingVoice between vocal control and [[WetwareCPU speakers]]. These can be quite loud but aren't usually on the level of a ''weapon'' - in ''Dramatic Mission'' she tries shouting at a passenger to keep her from murdering someone, and only manages to stagger her. However, when she's kidnapped in ''The Ship Who Dissembled'' and forced to perform, she pretends she wasn't given enough volume to sing properly and so is given more power. Starting low and quiet, she gets the kidnappers to lean close and subjects them to a LastNoteNightmare that, because of the drugs they were on accentuating the shock, actually kills some of them.

Sound comes from horn not voice.


* In ''A Practical Guide to Monsters'', the Yrthak (an eyeless, green wyvern with a unicorn horn) is described as being able to unleash a noise from its horn capable of knocking a foe to the ground.

* The Great Shout in ''Literature/TheRiddleMasterTrilogy'' by Creator/PatriciaAMcKillip can start avalanches (if you're not careful), knock down towers. and complete the year's nut harvest remarkably quickly if you do it right. Everybody is a potential Shouter -- you just have to be sufficiently moved.
** Among the famous Shouts is that vented by Queen Cyone of An on her wedding day. Neither she nor the King ever told anybody just what inspired it.

* Buzzer from ''Literature/SuperMinion'' has sonic powers, albeit much more subtle ones than most examples. He can't produce a noise loud enough to hurt someone with his power, but he can do things like [[BrownNote annoy people with infrasound]]



* Oskar Matzerath in ''Literature/TheTinDrum''.
* The short-lived Ace Howler in the ''Literature/WildCards'' series.
** Drummer Boy from the later books gets a strange variant. He's a Joker-Ace (superpowered individual with obvious mutations) who got his powers soon after he got his first drum kit, which resulted in six arms and chambers in his body that produced percussion when drummed upon. He later found that he could generate hyperfocused vibration through proper manipulation of these chambers, [[spoiler: and used this to destroy the brain of a tyrant's pet Ace]].

* Musician of the Forest, Cranberry, has sound control as her magic in ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject''. She mostly uses it for super hearing and vocal projection, but weaponizes it in her fight against [[spoiler:Swim Swim.]]

* In ''The Paths of the Perambulator'', the fifth ''Literature/{{Spellsinger}}'' book, Jon-Tom is briefly turned into a howler monkey. He's understandably pretty irritated by this, so when he starts trying to sing a counterspell, his voice, augmented by his magic and his anger, comes out as a hurricane-force sonic blast that knocks down trees for a hundred yards in front of him.

* ''Literature/ChrysalisRinoZ'': Various monsters, including Tiny the ape, can produce a shout/scream powerful enough to rattle brains. Anthony even meets a [[ManEatingPlant carnivorous flower]] that can do it.
