There is two ways I know.

Set a key on a parameter of the modifier, and use the Bake Sound to F-crurve. But it's really limited.

Or use Animation Nodes which has actual precise animation controls an hu_ge possibilities based on sound.
Actually, in its Bake Sound node documentation, you can see an example setup looking like what you want:

The nodes seem like a great option, but as a newby how do i insert one of these nodes? i just see nodes that correspond to textures – Juriaan Dec 07 '18 at 15:17
Check the Animation Node link I provided, everything needed is explained there. – L0Lock Dec 07 '18 at 15:23
I updated my question, do you know what's wrong with my setup? – Juriaan Dec 07 '18 at 15:48
you forgot to check the Mesh Data in your Mesh Object Output (far right node). – L0Lock Dec 07 '18 at 16:00

@Juriaan Also, if you are using version 2.1, connecting the edge indices is a must. So, make sure you do. – Omar Emara Dec 07 '18 at 16:02
Thanks guys! i checked the node. and connected the edges and now it works! cheers to you both – Juriaan Dec 07 '18 at 16:05
