There's just too little energy in the sound waves to make this worthwhile. I remember reading that a full symphony orchestra playing all out only produces about 40 watts of power.
And the only way to collect all the sound energy produced would be to have whatever absorbers you have in mind covering the entire surface surrounding the source.
I think a real way to address some noise pollution is to actively produce sound waves of opposite phase that will interfere destructively with the noise and cancel it. But that would be hard to do over a wide area, I should think.

Not the noise, but, when you find a way to harness the "Sound Waves" produced, and convert those to energy, call me and I'll invest.

i was thinking same. like we can convert our sound waves into electricity through microphones, phones, mikes etc, we can also use that energy in a god way. this is a very good idea. but im only 14 and cant do much on this because i have studies also :(

The efficiency to convert vibration energy into electricity is currently too low to be exploited industrially.
This is due to design limitations, material limitations and physics (nature) limitations.

Your thought is good, but feasibility!
May be possible option, I think IITians & IISc Bangalore should consider to study.
Certainly this idea mooted - is far better than accepting BPO & Call Centre assignments.
