I vaguely remember reading a science fiction story where they were able to recreate the sounds of the past from things like the patterns left in a painting by the vibrations the paintbrush picked up. (Can't remember any more than that, I'm afraid!)

Ive read something similar to the idea I’m presenting in a book as well. I’m always curious about how close things are or aren’t to fiction. 

While your sarcasm is indeed humorous the question is still not being answered. There are ideas and theories which the scientific community believed hundreds of years ago and even decades ago which have changed. All I’m saying is what would be the impact of those specific laws (The Laws of Thermodynamics) now not having those constraints implied constraints? What could be changed or overlooked in the scientific community? What would some of the major projects focus on?

I’m thinking more along the lines of for example people leaving their fingerprints in a room after they have entered it and touched things. Since sound is mechanical energy for something on a smaller scale like a room or I dont know a box/beaker. Could the energy released from the sound leave some type of residue? I understand that the heat being released when sound is produced is almost imperceptible/insignificant but at one point we couldn’t see DNA either.

Does sound leave a sound? An imprint that can be studied at a later time or does that energy just disappear forever into the cosmos never to be seen or heard again?

What would happen to the science world if we found of the Laws of Thermodynamics were false? Such as energy can be destroyed or created.
