Could sound stop water

Since sound is a series of pressure waves in a fluid, if the pressure in the waves were sufficient, it could provide enough forces to "stop" water. If you want to see this in limited action, set up some very loud speakers where the sound from them can blast out into some falling rain. If they are loud enough, you will see the rain deflected away from the source of the sound. If you were to ratchet the level of sound high enough, the rain would be deflected completely horizontal to the sound. If you were to place the speaker facing upwards (assuming the rain did not destroy the speaker - since most speakers have a lot of electronics involved) you could actually cause the rain to bounce UPWARDS away from the speaker when it encountered the sound blasting out from it. The level of sound, however, would be far above the levels most of us encounter and certainly enough to deafen you without some ear protection.
