Audiokinesis is the ability to control the sound waves and music. It is thought that gods and their children who have the natural ability to learn very fast could have a lower level, like children of Hermes, Athena, Apollo, and Aphrodite. Those who are deaf like Hearthstone are unable to perform it but are likewise immune to it.
The Heroes of Olympus[]
The Lost Hero[]
Hephaestus said that Zeus' domain also includes the air waves, as he was able to detect his pirate radio in The Lost Hero.
The Blood of Olympus[]
Will Solace can make a sharp ultrasonic whistle-like sound that can temporarily stun his opponents, making them clutch their ears in confusion. Apollo is determined to master the newly invented 'Valdezinator'.
The Trials of Apollo[]
The Tyrant's Tomb[]
In one of his bursts of godly powers, Apollo loosed a guttural roar at a severely weakened Commodus, described as "a song with only one note: pure rage and only one volume: maximum." The onslaught of pure sound caused Commodus to crumble into ash, leaving behind a charred outline on the asphalt. Apollo was left stunned by this as he had never actually killed someone with his voice alone in his thousands of years of existence.
The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure[]
In Tartarus, Will Solace manages to stun a number of monsters with his ultrasonic whistle.
While freeing Bob from his Regeneration Pod, Will is able to channel his light into Nico's Sword to make it stronger. Later, while fighting against Nyx's army of monsters, Will is able to channel his power into the sword just by humming even without physical contact, although this time Will appears to be channeling soundwaves into the sword to strengthen it.
