Sonic tractor beams, huh?
It takes more than just ordinary sound waves to supply that amount of pressure against gravity.
The monks etc. would have to produce powerful standing waves of a very low frequency in order to levitate an object of any significant mass.
The physics he briefly mentions is correct. However levitating massive objects, although possible in theory, would require astonishingly high sound levels.
The levitation of expanded polystyrene particles is shown above.
