Does sound energy generate electricity in a power station?

Yes, sound energy can be converted into electricity in a power station using piezoelectric materials. These materials can generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress, such as sound waves. However, the efficiency of this process is currently low compared to other methods of generating electricity.
