Could vibration carry electricity or something else?

A vibration moves along until it has moved too far or there is no other objects to travel to, so does that mean it could carry electricity or something chemistry related?

Welcome to PF.

A vibration is a sound wave. It can carry the mechanical energy of movement.
Mechanical vibration energy can be converted to and from electrical energy.
