      Yes, this is impossible.
      However, acoustic engines are not as efficient and sounds do not necessarily have lots of energy in them to make the useful. Combinations of heat and sound seem more successful.

      Indeed it can! Just imagine turning your bass on very loudly and put a glass of water in front of it and you will see that it can be turned into kinetic energy.
