In pve the bosses already have insane resistances against sonic damage
In pvp the damage can be fully countered by a sonic immunity or silence. Bards don't have access to disjunction.
Bigsby and hips can also be used to move away from the aoe. I don't really think it deserves a nerf when you look at what other classes can do.
Silent immunty is not ready at hand or on items for many builds and to almost any non caster build.
Further it does not address the abuse system in it durning pvp

Nerf the damage.
I do not think all classes should have an answer to everything. If you do not have a death ward against a necromancer or a sonic immunity against a bard you should be at a disadvantage

STR and HP unchanged, BAB increase is replaced by an AB increase.
Former formula :
BAB increase equal to an high BAB character of that level
New formula :
AB increase equal to 1/4 hit dice +1.
I'm not sure if this is a buff or a nerf. Isn't there a cap on how many ab bonus you can have at once?
8 from Divine might + 5 from greater magic weapon +3 from divine favor +3 from recitation means +19
The cap is supposely +20 which means a cleric won't benefit from bard songs or greater heroism?
Actually with +1 from aid and +1 from bless it already goes above the cap.

It does put more value on classes currently under powered and ignored such as war priest. Changing it to AB from BaB will also mean that you will no longer gain additional attacks per round.
