Rules question. Not a PFS question

Its a DMs call. Usually things like crystal, clay, glass, or things that will be easily shattered.

PFS rules questions are questions about things that PFS has specific rules for, animal companions, dayjob rolls, prestige points, chronicle boons, allowed resources etc.

Energy Attacks: Energy attacks deal half damage to most objects. Divide the damage by 2 before applying the object's hardness. Some energy types might be particularly effective against certain objects, subject to GM discretion. For example, fire might do full damage against parchment, cloth, and other objects that burn easily. Sonic might do full damage against glass and crystal objects.

To add to this, you don't ignore the object's hardness if the GM decides your damage is effective, you just don't half the damage before applying hardness.

So, unless there's an effect in place that lets you ignore hardness, sonic damage never ignores an object's hardness.

Actually, in the same additional Rules section covering object damage is the additional rules statement:

Vulnerability to Certain Attacks: Certain attacks are especially successful against some objects. In such cases, attacks deal double their normal damage and may ignore the object's hardness.

So, for a crystal goblet, for example, your sonic attack may not just do full damage, but double damage and ignore the object's hardness, if the GM says that sounds reasonable.
