The "Visible Sound" project attempts to create a physical version of the sound around it by sewing sound waves in realtime. Although this was just a concept, we like ways of making invisible objects like sound waves into tangible forms.
This concept model looks like a stereo faceplate on a modified sewing machine, but I can't imagine it would be too difficult to rig up some sound sensing equipment to adjust the width of the zigzag stitch on a sewing machine.

ayla is correct, the sewing machine bandwidth is limited and will only be able to accurately reproduce the lowest frequency sounds.
Unless you get really nerdy and do an FFT, bandwidth compression and reverse FFT.

I love the concept but I'm thinking the 'real time' element would be the difficult part. My sewing machine certainly doesn't sew as fast as sound...
