Subject: Crystal reduction

An idea occurred to me that may have merit in reduction of crystal formation. 
 Movement (stirring) a supersaturated solution significantly reduces crystal 
size.  Could sound waves by used to prevent ice crystallization?  Too much 

power in the waves would cause heating (microwaves).  A lower frequency could be
initiated as the core tempurature approaches freezing, and its intensity 
increased until freezing is completed.  It would be easy to test.
