Yes, it is very much possible. Take a look here: https://github.com/romanz/amodem/blob/master/README.rst

The transfer speed and noise are, obviously, too low/high to make any practical use out of this, but it's a cool experiment anyways.

I remember reading about a exploit/virus for BIOS that could coordinate an attack with infrasound, but I can't find any link.

It never really panned out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BadBIOS

Here's a real exploit instead. Audio-only attack revealing RSA private keys in GPG!
