No, sound does not last forever. Sound is mechanical energy that is carried by the medium through which it moves. It eventually is all absorbed, both by the medium (which is not 100% efficient) and by the things that the wave encounters. Any interaction sound has with its medium and with other things that it interacts with strip energy out of the wave. At some point, it is all gone.
