The interference pattern of the two waves will produce the rotating sound wave. But I never tried this out. Since sound waves are longitudinal, the rotating wave should push the air in a circle. Based on my theoretical understanding of wave phenomena, I believe this should work.

I believe you are right Einstein,however a testing is most unlikely.
