		+	:It's a bit of a misunderstanding that "any high note" can just shatter (a) glass. It has to be the right note (or a harmonic), and be sustained long enough to build up the constructive resonances to the point of becoming destructively shattering. (At the simplest, if you 'ping' a glass and hear a nice, distinct note/frequency, then 'sing' that back at it for long enough and loud enough...)
