I believe so, although the way I usually think about Solitons is like a single packet.. so just one cycle of a wave. Continuous sound could probably be thought of as a continuous stream of solitons (I think ppl call them phonons when it's sound though). I haven't studied PDEs nor solitons in a formal way I just love playing with them. Gray Scott with History and Wave (a formula I contributed to Gollygang/Ready) supports many fascinating soliton behaviours. Here's 25mins of one of the strangest parameter settings I've found:
