Sound is vibration in air, so it contains energy. It is possible to make those vibrations in energy do work, and turn them into power, in the same way as some have proposed generating electricity from waves in the ocean. Generating electricity from sound is currently impractical.
Microphones can be thought of as devices which turn sound into power-- the sound vibrates a thin piece of metal, which changes the electric signal passing through the microphone. It doesn't generate electricity, but work is done when the sound pushes the metal back and forth. Another example of work being done by sound is when if high-pitched sound breaks a crystal glass.

Does sound energy generate electricity in power stations?
No
Does sound energy generate electricity in a power station?
No
How do you generate power through sound?
Sound is caused by vibrations, and (at least experimentally) energy could be derived from the variance in transmitted vibrations.
Why you are generating power from thunder in large scale?
You don't generate power from thunder. Thunder is the sound wave produced by the lightning bolt.
What can solar power generate?
solar power can generate electricity
Should nuclear energy be used to generate power?
It can be used to generate power but it is very dangerous yet little nuclear energy can generate ALOT of power.

How does a speaker generate sound?
Speakers generate sound by electricity. have you ever heard that static on your tv headphones? that's the transmitter trying to connect to the tv. The elecricity travels to the speakers and 'tells' them what to do. it then emits your average sound.
