Further elaboration: I’m wondering if sound waves have sizes in the same way that the electromagnetic spectrum does. Like how visible light can’t reflect off viruses because they are too small. Is it like that with sound?

Yes, all waves have a wavelength. Deeper notes have a longer wavelength, that’s why subwoofers have to be so big. Higher end sound systems will send the higher pitched notes to tiny speakers called tweeters.
If you had a microscope, you could look at the grooves of a vinyl record and see the sound waves etched into the record.
