Perhaps you should distinguish between "sound" and "pressure" waves. If you mean "sound" in the sense of a pressure wave in gas that might be audible to a human [or other animal's] ear, then this is one sort of question. If you mean "sound" as in any measurable pressure wave, this is another sort of question. (Both questions are very interesting I think! :)
