They stand on three cables which connect to the hardened volcanic rock below. Sonic Deterrents can be found around the Lava Lakes, in close proximity to the Primary Containment Facility. Their purpose is to deter the native life forms from straying too close to the Primary Containment Facility, assumably protecting from a Sea Dragon Leviathan to prevent events similar to the destruction at the Disease Research Facility. However, this does not completely protect the player, as the structures have no actual effects in-game.

Data Bank Entry

These small alien structures are emitting high wavelength soundwaves which seem to be designed to deter indigenous lifeforms from approaching the larger facility.

Trivia

The Sonic Deterrents look very similar in appearance to the cube - like structures around the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. It is unknown if these structures have the same purpose, or are just similar in appearance.
