In December 2016, a US official in Havana went to the embassy medical centre to report a debilitating and confounding illness. The symptoms included headaches; nausea; hearing loss; problems with memory and vision – and its onset was characterized by hearing… something. A buzzing, hissing, grinding… sound. Soon, a second official came down with the same symptoms. Then a third. Then a fourth. By the time the story went public in summer 2017, dozens of US diplomats, as well as some Canadians, had come down with what was becoming known as “Havana Syndrome.” In this deep dive investigation, journalist Nicky Woolf peels back the layers of one of the most bizarre mysteries of the modern age. The Sound is a story about spycraft, technology, and the brain. It’s a story where, at every turn, you’re never quite sure what’s real and what’s an illusion. It’s a story about how the Cold War, maybe, never really ended. The Sound is a Project Brazen production.

Incredible Work

From the second the very first episode started, I was hooked. I ended up finishing the entire show in a single day. The sound design is immaculate, and the narration strikes a balance between funny and engaging without also detracting from the seriousness of the topic at hand. Mostly, however, the story itself shines brightest. Nicky and his team took an incredible series of events and somehow made them even more compelling. Bravo to everyone who worked on this show.
Fascinating

This is an amazing conclusion to a story that impacts the lives of so many people. I listened to an entire different podcast and after the completion I had no idea what to think. Then I found this one and everything is now so clear.
WOW
