Louisiana battery law covers harmful sound

Louisiana law expands battery to include intentionally directing sound at someone close to their ear or head. The sound must be capable of causing physical pain, hearing loss or other hearing problems, or bodily injury. A reasonable person must foresee that the conduct will cause such harm. The law keeps the existing battery definitions and adds no new penalties.
