You could see sound waves being generated and travelling across the surface of water.
Put an underwater speaker (or a waterproof outdoor loudspeaker) under a shallow plastic pool of water. Play some loud music with lots of bass notes, and you will see ripples of sound waves on the surface.
Experiment with the sound frequencies and the angle of light directed on the water's surface... for the best results.

It's very easy. Every sound has colours, shapes, textures. You could even taste or touch sound if you really listened. No, I'm not on drugs (although I have been accused of taking something), some people have their sensory organs connected this way. But I believe you can learn it, by trying to listen to a sound and give it some description (first thing that comes into mind). Have fun!

Sound waves that are transmitted through a device called an oscilloscope, will be interpreted as wavy lines on a screen. That is the only way I know.
Or maybe a graphic equaliser that has an onscreen display.

Get a hoop and tie a cut balloon tight across it so you get a thin drum. Put a little sand or pollen or similar on the drum.
Now subject it to a sound - talk to it for example!
You will see vibration patterns on its surface.

Put a plastic tray on your speaker with some sand in it, you'll see tha patterns made by the sound waves.

Apart from the sand on a tray over a speak, you can use iron filings which will stand on end and even dance or lean, to certain types of rhythms

Sonic boom. There is an email going around that shows jets breaking the sound barrier. It is incredible.

You cant...unless you decide to get a sound editing program and view the waves on a computer...

Tie it to light....Some schools for the deaf put on a light show that is orchestrated by the music.

Transform it to a signal with an oscillator
