If we want to talk realism, something so LOUD (not resonant frequency) with the power to bust glass windows would have enough force to feel like a kick in the chest, wouldn't it?
But this isn't entirely a realism change. Instead, it's a response to the deaf trait being a combat "upgrade".
Deaf and welding helmet, you're completely immune to flashbangs.
This is not great from a gameplay perspective, as it makes the deaf trait a must-have for combat, granting a trait point at the same time. This really doesn't seem like the intent of the trait. It feels like it's supposed to be a character flavor aspect rather than a combat upgrade.
Not great from a "realism" perspective, either. The concussive force that makes the *bang* will still disorient someone that is completely deaf. I'm truly less worried about this aspect, myself, as it's a chemical that HOOTs at you.
