Could acoustic sensors ever replace PPG in health tracking?

Do you think acoustic sensing could ever replace PPG for things like heart rate or respiration tracking?

PPG struggles with motion, tattoos, skin tone, etc.
Acoustic sensors seem more “physics-based,” but also noisy (literally).

Would you trust a mic-based wearable more than optical sensors?
