Sound waves cannot be polarised because they are longitudinal waves, only transverse waves can be polarised.

Sound waves are not transverse waves; they are longitudinal waves. In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, creating compressions and rarefactions.

🔊 Why Sound Waves Are Longitudinal
Particle Motion: In air (or any medium), sound is produced by vibrations that push particles forward and backward along the direction of travel.
