Why not just play it over a speaker like is often done?

Well, now you can directly target people so personalized ads when you're walking down the street. I'm scared it would devolve to pseudo-hallucinations ('did you hear that?').

Because then it's obvious where it came from. Much better to spam people anonymously from a distance.
People annoying other people with laser pointers is going to become _so_ much more annoying.

#8> The ability to send highly targeted audio signals over the air could be used to communicate across noisy rooms or warn individuals of a dangerous situation such as an active shooter.
This strikes me as a rather bizarre example to use. What's special about active shooters that would warrant using lasers to beam whispered audio messages directly into someone's ear?

Maybe it represents the ability to say "Hey you, stay put, or go that other way; the shooter is right around the corner" from, say, an overwatch point or a drone or something? In that case you wouldn't want the shooter to know. Beats waving your arms like crazy. Just spitballin' here.

#10So, do noise reducing earplugs thwart these things?
and screw the mindset that active shooter is the "cool use case" for something like this. Jesus christ - if these people had imagination, how about the fact that it can be uncomfortable to always have a device sitting in your ear canal - maybe it would make a good headset for a phone conversation sitting at a desk - you dont need a thing on your head/in your ear to be able to converse on a call..
