Question

Can sound be transformed in physical energy?

Answer 1

Yes. I moves your eardrums so you can hear.  

Answer 2

yes.

but there's not a lot.

loud street noise is not, if i remember correctly, enough to light a 60 watt bulb.  

Answer 3

Sound is a form of physical energy.  Sound is the kinetic energy of vibrating particles.  Sound energy can also be converted to other kinds of energy.  When sound vibrates an object, some of the energy gets converted to heat.  Also, microphones convert sound energy to electrical energy which can be recorded, amplified, or manipulated however you like.
