Kyoka Jiro
Class 1-A sound user Kyoka Jiro is prominent for her quirk called “Earphone Jack”, which grants her the ability to use sound attacks.

Jiro's quirk is very good against multiple opponents as she could simply stick her headphones underground and cause a massive earthquake. She could even immobilize her enemies by releasing shocking vibrations with the sound of her heartbeat, stunning them.

Orochimaru
While Orochimaru's fighting style is not directly based on sound, he is still capable of using powerful sound-based ninjutsu alongside his bodyguards, the Sound Four of Sound Village. From sound clone jutsu to highly vocal roars and even explosive shockwaves, Orochimaru is widely implied to share and use the same sound jutsu with his subordinates.
Throughout Naruto Orochimaru impressed the audience with his disturbing ambition and genius. He is one of the most powerful and fearsome shinobi Konoha has ever produced, capable of infiltrating the Akatsuki and even declaring war on his home village.

Uzui Tengen
Before Uzui Tengen retired, he served as the Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps for years while also fighting higher ranking demons. He was the only demon slayer capable of using Sound Breathing, a breathing style derived from the more famous Thunder Breathing.
In addition to Uzui's original breathing style, he is also respected for his musical score, which, simply put, allows him to turn every fight into a sound or song that he can accurately analyze. Once Uzui fulfills the conditions of his musical score, his opponents' flaws and habits are revealed, making it easier for him to win the fight.

Scratchmen Apoo
At first glance, Scratchmen Apoo looks like a weak pirate with his eccentric appearance and flamboyant personality, but he is actually a dangerous pirate known for being one of the most powerful pirates of the worst generation. In addition to having devil fruit abilities, Scratchmen Apoo can also use two types of Haki, observation and weaponry.
Scratchmen Apoo's devil fruit, Oto Oto no Mi, allows him to transform parts of his body into musical instruments. From bulbous horns to cymbals and even a saxophone, Scratchmen Apoo can play these musical instruments and unleash deadly sonic chops and waves that instantly hit opponents who can hear his music.

Yoshinobu Gakuganji
Have you ever seen an old man swing an electric guitar to fight opponents in an anime? If not, then Jujutsu Kaisen you're covered. Yoshinobu Gakuganji is an iconic character in the series, not because he was the headmaster of Kyoto Jujutsu High or for his old ideals, but because of his unusual but powerful cursed technique.
Yoshinobu Gakuganji wields an electric guitar in battle and unleashes deadly waves of cursed energy on his opponents. His body acts as a living amplifier, translating the melodies he plays on his guitar into devastating waves of cursed energy that ripple across the battlefield.

Karim Flam
Karim Flam has a very creative way of using sound Fire Force. Unlike the other characters on this list, Karim's method requires repeated cycles of converting heat energy into sound through his pistol, which at first glance looks like a trombone.
Much like an air conditioning system that regulates temperature through continuous energy exchange, Karim Thermoacoustic Cooling cycles heat and sound in a controlled loop to produce ice that could even freeze several firestorms!

Bonolen's Ndongo
In addition to an old man who could use an electric guitar to fight opponents, this list also includes Bonolen's Ndongo, a powerful Nenu user who can conjure up a giant orb that looks like the planet Jupiter to crush his opponents. Hunter x Hunter.
As long as Bonolenov could produce music with holes in his body and complete the dance required to activate Battle Cantabile: Jupiter, anyone who heard his music could be crushed to death by his technique.

Zebra
This list wouldn't be complete without one of the four kings of heaven Toriko. Not only can Zebra emit sonic attacks comparable to nuclear explosions, but he can also use his sonic abilities for protection, creating sonic barriers and sonic bubbles to protect allies and dominate the battlefield.
Even at a distance, Zebra's sonic waves can devastate enemies, alter the terrain of the battlefield, and disrupt anything in its path. His title of Heavenly King is not just for show because as long as he can use his superhuman voice, he is almost impossible to defeat.
