The K-H filters are certainly usable in the audio. They can be make a good
sound system sound like a telephone in bandpass mode and a bunch of other
things. They could likely filter out an annoying tone as a notch filter. I
don't remember how good the noise floor is, but it's likely pretty good.

In the lab, they are useful for cleaning up signals. Most are high
pass/low pass/band pass/band reject.(Not all at the same time)

Note, My comments refer to engineering based audio, NOT audiophoolery.

Best,
