Not neccessarily.

Any radiation from a point source is omnidirectional by definition - it spreads in all directions.

That said, it's easier to focus/concentrate higher frequncies (both for radio and sound), so higher-frequency sound waves are more likely to be directional.

Straight line?

No, there will always be some spreading/dispersal/diffusion, and expect reflections as well.
