For the sound wave it couldn't be polarized because it isa longitudinal wave and need a medium to propagate which means it vibrate in dot direction. So, the polarizing process couldn't be applied to the sound wave.
Result:
The light and all electromagnetic waves could be polarized while sound wave doesn't.
