  ITEM 8.01 - OTHER EVENTS
  
  On November 13, 2006, the Registrant  posted the following  announcement on its
  website (www.sonexresearch.com):
  
  
  
                              LOCAL LITIGATION SETTLED
  
  
  ANNAPOLIS,  MARYLAND,  November  13,  2006 - SONEX  RESEARCH,  INC.  (OTC  SONX)
  announced that it has settled two lawsuits  filed by Global Equity  Consultants,
  Inc. ("GECI") of Arnold, Maryland. Under the terms of the settlement, both cases
  have been  dismissed with  prejudice,  meaning that GECI is barred from refiling
  its claims,  and the parties have granted  mutual  releases  from all  potential
  claims against each other through the date of the settlement.
  
  In September  2005 GECI filed a Complaint  in the Circuit  Court in Anne Arundel
  County,  Maryland,  subsequently  amended in October 2006, demanding delivery of
  750,000  shares of Sonex  common  stock or, in the  alternative,  $1  million in
  damages,  pursuant to an April 30, 2004 Consulting Agreement with Sonex executed
  by GECI's  president,  James A.  Rose,  II.  Sonex  denied the  allegations  and
  asserted  that  the  Consulting  Agreement  was  procured  by  negligent  and/or
  intentional  concealment  of certain  facts by Mr.  Rose and that GECI failed to
  properly  perform all the services set forth in the Consulting  Agreement.  GECI
  filed a Motion for Summary Judgment which was denied by the Court in July 2006.
  
  In July 2006 GECI also filed a Stockholder  Derivative  Complaint in the Circuit
  Court for Anne Arundel County  against Dr. Andrew A. Pouring,  Sonex Chairman of
  the  Board,  CEO and  President,  and George E.  Ponticas,  CFO,  Secretary  and
  director,  challenging the grant by Sonex in early 2005 of security interests in
  its patents to its officers  and  directors  to secure  payment of  compensation
  being  deferred  on an ongoing  and future  basis as well as new loans and other
  financial  obligations.  GECI  claimed  that  the  transaction  "is  unfair  and
  unreasonable"  to the  Company.  Sonex  believes  that  the  allegations  in the
  Stockholder  Derivative  Complaint  are without  merit and that the grant of the
  security  interests,  which also were granted to other shareholders who had made
  loans to the  Company,  benefited  the Company and meets the legal  standard for
  interested director  transactions that requires such transactions to be fair and
  reasonable to a corporation.  Three local  shareholders  had previously  filed a
  lawsuit in April 2005 challenging the grant of the security interests, but after
  court-ordered  mediation  in July  2005,  the  matter  was  settled  through  an
  agreement to stay the case,  and  voluntarily  dismissed by those  plaintiffs in
  March 2006.
  
  In order to minimize the expense and disruption to its business of continuing to
  litigate both actions filed by GECI,  Sonex entered into settlement  discussions
  with Mr. Rose in early August 2006. Last week the parties executed a settlement.
  In addition to the  dismissal of both  lawsuits  with  prejudice  and the mutual
  releases from all claims,  as part of the settlement GECI agreed to accept,  and
  Sonex has delivered to GECI, 200,000 shares of common stock in full satisfaction
  of GECI's claim for shares.

  About Sonex
  
  Sonex  Research,  Inc.,  a leader  in the  field of  combustion  technology,  is
  developing its patented Sonex Combustion  System (SCS)  piston-based  technology
  for in-cylinder  control of ignition and  combustion,  designed to increase fuel
  mileage and reduce  emissions  of internal  combustion  engines.  Sonex plans to
  complete  development,  commercialize  and  market  its  Sonex  Controlled  Auto
  Ignition (SCAI)  combustion  process to the automotive  industry to improve fuel
  efficiency of gasoline powered vehicles.  Additionally,  independent third-party
  testing has confirmed the potential of the SCS application  for  direct-injected
  diesel  engines  to  significantly   reduce  harmful  soot  in-cylinder  without
  increasing  fuel  consumption.  Other  SCS  designs  are being  used to  convert
  gasoline engines of various sizes to operate on safer, diesel-type "heavy fuels"
  for use in military and commercial  applications requiring light weight and safe
  handling and storage of fuel, such as in UASs (unmanned aerial systems).
  
  
  CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  
  "Forward-looking"  statements  contained in this report, as well as all publicly
  disseminated  material about the Company, are made pursuant to the "safe harbor"
  provisions of the Private  Securities  Litigation Act. Such statements are based
  on current  expectations,  estimates,  projections and assumptions by management
  with respect to matters such as commercial acceptance of the SCS technology, the
  impact of  competition,  and the  Company's  financial  condition  or results of
  operations.  Readers are cautioned  that such  statements  are not guarantees of
  future  performance and involve risks and uncertainties  that could cause actual
  results to differ  materially from those  expressed in any such  forward-looking
  statements.
  
  
  RISK FACTORS
  
  Additional  information  regarding  the risks  faced by Sonex is provided in the
  Company's  periodic  filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (SEC)
  under the heading "Risk  Factors".  Such filings are available upon request from
  the Company or online in the SEC's EDGAR database at  www.sec.gov.  The Company,
  however,  is  delinquent  in its filings  with the SEC. It has not filed  Annual
  Reports on Form 10-KSB for the years ended  December 31, 2004 and 2005 primarily
  because it lacks the  financial  resources to engage an  independent  registered
  public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the related  financial  statements
  and because it lacks the  staffing to prepare the Forms 10-KSB due in large part
  to the amount of time management has devoted and the amount of funds the Company
  has spent in responding  to  litigation.  For the same reasons,  the Company has
  been unable to file its Quarterly  Reports on Form 10-QSB for 2005 and 2006. The
  Company is unable to predict  when it will be able to make  these  filings,  and
  there can be no assurance  that the filings will be made at all or that a public
  market for the Company's Common Stock will continue to exist
