If we were The Flash, and was able to "see" sound in bands of compressed air, we'd see regularly spaced spherical bands emanating from the source. Sort of a 3D version of ocean waves out at sea.
The pressure of air actually varies sinusoidally for pure tones, but you get the picture.

Kind of like Jimmy Durante with blond hair.
Actually, they would be high frequency sphere-like waves that radiate outward like ripples in a pond when you throw in a stone.

They would appear as a bubble emanating out in all directions from the source of the sound. As they moved farther away, they would gradually begin to fade until they disappeared.
