The acoustic phonons in the 50% doped bilayer manganite LaSr2Mn2O7 exhibiting CE type charge order were investigated using inelastic neutron scattering. At the onset of charge ordering, we observe an abrupt increase(decrease) of the energies(linewidths) of the transverse acoustic phonon along (110), which crosses the CE ordering wavevector. This effect is, however, not localized at the CE ordering wave vector, but is observed over an extended range of momentum transfers, for which the phonon energy is lower than 15 meV. These observations indicate a reduced electron-phonon coupling due to a partial removal of the Fermi surface and provide direct evidence for a link between electron-phonon coupling and charge order in manganites. However, the observed response is not consistent with a standard charge-density-wave mechanism, clearly showing that the transition is unconventional.
