We have investigated quadrupole effects in tetragonal crystals of PrCu$$_2$$Si$$_2$$ and DyCu$$_2$$Si$$_2$$ by means of low-temperature ultrasonic measurements. The elastic constant C$$_{44}$$ of PrCu$$_2$$Si$$_2$$ exhibits pronounced softening below 70 K, which is described in terms of a quadrupole susceptibility for a doublet ground state.
