When I first heard Experiment IV, I immediately thought of A.C.
Clarke's "The Ultimate Melody" from _Tales of the "White Hart"_, in
which an experimenter discovers a melody so entrancing that he goes
catatonic humming it to himself.  I find this a more interesting
interpretation than the sound resonance weapon mentioned in the
previous posting.

Or to mangle Kate and Monty Python,
"They told us all they wanted was a joke that could kill someone"
