Could a bard take the siren PrC from savage species? They do have mind effecting sonic powers, and even if most aren't attacks, there's always haunting melody from Eberron.

There are certain skill requirements, but the hard to get prerequisite is having a sonic mind effecting ability.

What about a Merfolk Bard? Merfolk are basically the Humans of the Water.

I thought all the bard songs are sonic, mind affecting..

Bardic music
Once per day per bard level, a bard can use his song or poetics to produce magical effects on those around him .. ( os its sonic you can't use this against deaf people)

Fascinate (Sp)

..to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him..(so its mind affecting)

also this bardic music is a version of

Hypnotism
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1

So check with your DM and make a neat tale about the descendant(child /grandchild) of a siren who became bard and one day ...

*Shameless self promotion*

BTW check my entry to the Uncon Core Class revision, I am finalist with the Bard Class (Sorcerors have more votes but...)
