No. There is no sound wave below the atomic or molecular level. A sound wave is mechanical energy that is the result of the stimulation of groups of atoms or molecules. Sound cannot travel unless it can impart mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. And the atoms and/or molecules of a medium react to the mechanical stimulation and create and provide a medium of travel for the energy. Sound can move from one medium to another, as you might have guessed.

What part of the atom cannot have its location accurately determined and is modeled by a cloud around the center of the atom?

There are three atomic particles, the neutron, the proton and the electron. The proton and neutron are located in the nucleus, leaving the electron to orbit the nucleus in a probability cloud.

What does air column mean in musical terms?

Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."
