Slightly inaccurate, though close enough for comparison purposes, as radio 
waves are electromagnetic and can travel through a vaccume, but not an 
insulator, and sound waves are pressure waves and cannot travel through a 
vaccume, but may pass through many electrical insulators.  The usable RF 
spectrum goes all the way from a couple of hz (well below the range of human 
hearing), through the ghz range where we find microwave, spread spectrum, 
etc...
C-ya! Rich
