It gives Sonic some drawbacks (it actualy has a couple). One drawback, pretty much nothing is vulnerable to sonic. And another...any sonic spell is stopped by Silence.I think its very possible that the designers did think of this, and felt that Sonic energies destructive  ability against objects and the rarity of resistance to it is balanced by the fact that its the only energy type that is blocked entirely by a single spell (a spell that most casters arent going to want to be in the radius of even if their is danger of sonic attack however since it robs them of much of their power)Bear in mind also that a Bard's Countersong ability can offer great protection from sonic attacks. Yes, I am assuming that because I dont know anything about your campaign, and these discussions generaly assume/default to the core rules.</blockquote>
