A sonogram can see your heart beating too, but no one thinks sonograms are dangerous(because they are not).

Ultrasound can be used to blast tumours or break kidney stones. And according to Wikipedia there seems to be a really weird correlation between having an ultrasound and being lefthanded. But that sounds almost too ridiculous to be true.

Unsolicited remote sonograms are stopped by walls, floors, ceilings and doors, unlike wireless radio networks.

A concrete wall stops wifi pretty well.

How thick a concrete wall is needed to stop wifi? Or does the concrete wall contain fine wire mesh?

If by "fine" you mean minimum ~10mm rebar then yes

Sound can certainly be dangerous to you.

So can water. That doesn't make it inherently dangerous in all amounts.
