“The sound amplitude, or strength, is very weak,” said Göran Johansson, a co-author of the paper. “Basically, when you excite the atom, it creates a sound, one phonon at a time, according to theory. It’s the weakest possible sound possible at the frequency [that it vibrates].”

Does this mean I need new speaker cables?

20 octaves higher than the highest note on the piano.

How cool is that!

I hear that a few of the younger atoms are getting a band together to do Van Halen covers.

Yes, they will be calling themselves the Atomic Punks.
