Yes, some screen readers such as JAWS can be configured to use a different voice to represent bold text, for example. They can also use non-speech sounds to represent things such as HTML elements.
One of the things that really blew my mind is just how fast a proficient screen reader user can crank up the speed, e.g. https://soundcloud.com/freecodecamp/zersiaxs-screen-reader https://soundcloud.com/freecodecamp/zersiaxs-screen-reader. It's totally unintelligible to me, and doesn't even sound much like human speech.
If you're no longer constrained by the speed and sound of normal speech all kinds of other interesting audio representations become possible.
