Years ago, a British, Murdoch-owned, pay-TV company called Sky was piloting this on trains. The showreel for it literally showed weary commuters trying to rest their heads against the window being blasted with audio adverts through acoustic bone coupling. One of the most tone-deaf (pun intended) things I've ever seen.
