sound-producing (material) ; sound-generating/audio-generating (equipment)
Explanation:
Materials "produce" sounds, devices "generate" sounds.

If Wisperflex is a material, use "sound-producing". If it refers to a kind of equipment or device, use "sound-generating".

If the sound produced has a certain intended structure and is meant to be listened to (such as music or an alarm), consider using "audio-generating" instead.
