Assume each unit volume of air vibrates as a simple harmonic oscillator,
the energy E = (1/2).d.V^2,
where d is the density of air,
V is the max speed of vibration.
But V = w.A
where w is the angular frequency of the sound wave and A is the amplitude.
Hence, E = (1/2).d.[w.A]^2
which is the energy carried by the sound wave per unit volume of air.
