Default Increase Power With...Sound Waves???

At the dealer today, i was talking to the service manager, a longtime tuner who said he's working on a device that will use sound waves to super-cool the intake. Is this possible? How would it work?
I told him i was gonna post it on this site, and said he welcomes all scientists/engineers who would like to join him in his project.

ben and jerrys was using a test fridge that used sound waves to cool itself. It was something like a huge drum with a diaphram of some sort that vibrated.

actually no, hell no. If i remember right, a spaceshuttle launch is only 180dB and that would liquify your brain in no time. I retract what i just said, no gains are worth having a 190dB bomb strapped to your intake. Not to mention the amount of power it would take to run the thing
