Well, if one does work, energy is expended and that is the energy radiated away from a loudspeaker.
Of politicians in England my old boss Roy (an acoustician from England) once said something like "if you took all the energy in sound of politicians arguing for a week, you could heat a cup of tea".
His meaning was our ears are very sensitive and the amount of actual energy in normal sound is very small.
So with 1 horsepower being 746 Watts and 1 Watt being 1/746 Horsepower AND that is subjectively LOUD, puts the ears sensitivity in perspective, also at the big end, what's needed to radiate multiple horsepower in stadium or outdoor event.
