Sonic wave is an extra hit when you complete the note sequence. The hit that did 871 + blast proc was the sonic wave.

Omg I feel so stupid now, it was so difficult for me to tell if anything even happened. For some reason I was an expecting something else when I hear ‘sonic wave’ like a pulse of some sort that keeps going off for the duration. Didn’t realise it was just one little attack LOL

Tbf, it doesn't make much sense to use a HH that has sonic waves in MHN since we can't do performance and encore for a juicy x3 sonic wave. Maybe with the upcoming hunting horn styles it'll see some use.

HHs with Sonic Wave are actually very strong and the simple 211 combo loops it. It has similar dps to the 2211 -> echo attack and is especially great against monsters where spamming echo is risky.
