Is it true that sound waves never die and persist forever as sound?

No. One physics source directly addresses the claim and states that sound ultimately transforms into heat energy, so it cannot persist forever as sound. The remaining retrieved items discuss unrelated aspects of sound waves and settle nothing about the claim.
