To both fit in with the lore and add some player-to-player interaction, maybe hitting another player with the Sonic Resonator could have an effect? My idea is that the “victim” player would see all sounds muffled, a constant ringing noise, and maybe a screen effect, all fading out over 5-10 seconds. Maybe the “victim” would also hear the initial sonic resonator use noise more “amplified”.
This is very much specifically inspired by the effect of using the Pliers in Inscryption.
