Subject: Acoustic oscillations?

Another ignorant question:
Are true acoustic oscillations ever important in low-pressure plasmas? 
I'm not talking about acoustic mode as opposed to optical mode, but
low-frequency pressure waves.  If someone can just point me to the right
spot in a standard text, that would be fine. 
TIA for any help!
