What exactly is it? High pitched frequency? Or just very loud? Does it physically hurt?

God I hate replies like this. We are watching a video. What happens in the video? That's what they are obviously asking.
Edit: I found videos from different perspectives. https://syzito.xyz/@OccuWorld/114172100218871827 That makes it a bit clearer.
I still don't understand. People clear the street very quickly but I don't see anything like a car or teargas. Does the sonic weapon sound like a vehicle or something like that?
It actually really simple. High-pitch, high intensity (around 150 Db) sound projected directly towards your ears causes pain to your ears. If youโre close enough then it can permanently damage your hearing. It can also blow out some microphones so many recordings of this from a victimโs perspective donโt actually contain audio of the actual deterrent sound.
Update: the weapon remains mysterious.
