There is no basis in science for such a thing. Sound, which is what one means by sonic, is the result of compression waves in whatever medium the sound is traveling. By their nature compression waves compress and expand along the path traveled by the waves.
This means, the net result is zero force...positive in the forward direction as it compresses and negative in the backward direction as it expands. When there is zero net force, we have f = ma = 0; so that a = 0 and nothing moves. When things don't move, they don't get levitated.
For the purists reading this, the forward and backward forces do not exactly cancel out because there are some energy conversions between the two directions. However, they are small; so there is very little migration of the air molecules along the path of sound waves in air for example.
