Best Answer

Every supernatural creature was believed to have a natural weakness. A superntural allergy, if you will. Harpies were said to fear brass, some texts claiming to the point that the "loathsome harpies would flee the sound of brazen instruments." It is most likely due to the fact that brass and bronze were common in Greece and Rome, used to make weapons and everyday items.
