Every muscle he has functions at super levels, right? Shouldn't his vocal chords do the same?
 
I am not a big Superman reader so my knowledge is what everyone knows, you know the bascis
 
Maybe it's considered "girly" being more female heroes and villains are prone to having "Sonic Screams" Just don't tell Sean Cassidy though

Maybe he does have a sonic scream, but no one has made him scream like a lil girl to discover it.  Seriously though, he doesn't need another power. He's already like a swiss army knife as it is.

Superman 1 with Christopher Reeves when Lois Lane dies was Superman's first Sonic Scream. 
Had that on my surround sound and it blew my ears OUT.

I don't know, maybe he's a Mariah Carey fan and sings in the shower.  I'm not saying he should have one, I'm asking, logically shouldn't he be able to do that

Actually, you can imagine him having GOBS of powers they don't focus on...  You ever wonder how loud he could scream?  Just the volume alone could be deafening if not deadly.  He's able to vibrate his molecules at ridiculo speeds, shoot beams of energy from his eyes...etc...
 
So, should he have sonic scream?  It makes perfect sense. He has control over his vocal chords, can vibrate various parts of his body rapids, can push ridiculous volumes of air from his lungs...  Maybe he has a host of powers that he simply has not invested time in learning to use them.

@cattlebattle: Could you imagine?  LOL!  If you had hundreds of different powers... How would you keep it all straight?  How many times would you zap someone with your eye beams before you remembered you even HAVE a sonic scream, or  a deadly finger snap, or a radioactive nostril-blast (ewww.) 

Black Bolt resents the association between screams and little girls. The fact he's Marvel most powerful earthbound hero is testament to that (now that Sentry is dead and Surfer is Cosmic).

Maybe he does... End of Darkseid? Final Crisis?

Because, back during the Silver Age, DC;

A) Never thought of it.

B) Didn't consider it cool enough to give him.

C) Didn't need to give it to him because no other hero with it became powerful or popular enough for them to feel they had to endow him with it, too.

or

D) They considered it to feminine (i.e.; Black Canary) for the "Man of Steel."

he does have it he just dosen't use it, but it was shown that supergirl stopped an eartquake with a hyper-sonic whistle in a issue of legion of superheroes

Maybe he does... End of Darkseid? Final Crisis?

Silly, Superman doesn't super-scream...
If anything, he super-shouts. He is SuperMAN afterall. ;P

I don't see why he couldn't be able to.. But would he ever really need to use it?

Seriously though, he doesn't need another power. He's already like a swiss army knife as it is.

 Dude, you know who's going to write Superman now don't you ?  The guy who gave him the power to recognize people by looking at their DNA.

Oh GET OUT!  Really???  He can recognize people by their DNA now?!?!?  What, solar energy charges his brain up so that it now has UNLIMITED STORAGE CAPACITY, INSTANT RECALL, and ... all that...  ?????  How long till he changes that S on his chest to a big G...  god man...

@cattlebattle: I have to?!?!  Well.. if I HAVE to... But, since everything is being undone with the relaunch and all, is there a point?

@Timandm: Didn't you get the memo ? Nothing is being undone, it's just a revamp of the line, new costumes, new titles, that's it.

I haven't read it yet... I PLAN to....  I have some of the Flashpoint stories... I've only read #1 so far...  It seems that things have changed drastically in that issue, but I realize that could be just a temporary thing.

Yea supes has a sonic sream,

silver age super man had a planet busting sneeze

One more from Batman Superman 18.

@kenshima15:

That's why I've been saying for years, that Superman lives short of his true potential.

It's kinda sad and disappointing at the same time.

Well this is N52 Supes, failty new. He's never used his Sonic screams in an offensive manner, P.N52 Supes on the other hand has used his sonic screams a number of times, seeing of course as he has more years on print.

I've got a couple more sonic scream feats, tell me if you wanna see em!

@kenshima15: I'd like to see them.

@cattlebattle: I dont see why ?

He would hurt his own ears ....

Why doesn't he have TK powers like H'el or Kon-el?

Why does he fight like a brute and not use martial arts?

Why not use kryptonian gadgets like Batman uses earth gadgets?

Why not use weapons like wonder woman?

Why not Get a magician to get him magical warding?

If I were him I'd get all those, he could learn magic and science and build stuff faster than anyone but the flash. He doesn't even experiment with his powers despite Wrath pointing out he had more potential, the one power he played with left him drained for hours/days ...

DC writers dont think he should have them, so he does not...

He kinda sorta does depending on whether the writers want that power to be used or not. Often though it's not really a regularly used power by Supergirl or Superman and it might be tied up with a distressed or angry emotional state. Kinda like heat vision I guess.
