Using sound waves in layer 1
Is it possible, in theory, to use sound waves as the physical medium to transmit data over a network?
In other words, could you implement layer 1 of the OSI networking model using sound waves or am I totally misunderstanding the physics/networking concepts?

Well, modems used to use acoustic couplers, which used sound waves to transfer data.

Yes it’s possible. In fact, Amazon Dash buttons use ultrasound as a medium.

AFAIK, Dash buttons use Wi-fi.

Anything that can transport information can be used as physical layer - sound as well as doves.
Some air-gap attacks use (ultra)sound to communicate across the air gap.
However, since the frequencies even for ultrasound are rather low, the data rate would be low as well. Also, the reach of sound waves limits the use to a single room.
