SUMMARY
Tesla coils can indeed produce sound by generating high-frequency electrical discharges, a concept popularized in the movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Utilizing a solid-state driver allows for the modulation of frequency, resulting in musical notes. Companies have developed 'plasma speakers' that operate on this principle, although the sound quality is generally subpar. This technology demonstrates the intersection of electrical engineering and sound production.
