Abstract
Development of the acoustic method of particle detection is presented from the beginning until current experiments and perspectives. In 1983, a possibility to use acoustic signal from neutrino beam produced by a multi-TeV proton accelerator was presented for purposes of geological research. Results of the measurement of such signal on the test beam of 70 GeV proton accelerator are reported. A new possibility to study the time dependence of the thermoacoustic properties of the medium in the region of earthquake using the measurement of the velocity of longitudinal sound waves by means of usage of ultra-high energy neutrino beam as an underground source of acoustic waves is discussed.
