It depends on how you propagate it whether it is audio or RF.
If you are transmitting audio you are transmitting an acoustic wave.

Thank you, this makes sense.
I was trained in radio and perhaps was being too simplistic. Yes, I was not
differentiating between acoustic pressure waves and EM waves. I should study
the workings of the transducer. Can anyone help here?
Does a transducer have a diaphragm vibrating at 200K?

Yes - actually, a piezoelectric crystal that vibrates at the operating
frequency.
