Devil's Tuning Fork

Devil’s Tuning Fork is “a first-person exploration/puzzle game in which the player must navigate an unknown world using visual sound waves” and was made by a group of students in 6 months to compete in the Independent Games Festival. Unfortunately, it appears to be windows only, but the traileris worth checking out anyways. It is pretty.
