A non-Riemannian geometrical approach to the investigation of an acoustic black hole in irrotational mean flows, based on the Lighthill vortex sound theory is given. This additional example of analog gravity based on classical fluids is used to investigate the acoustic Lorentz violation. An example is given where the contortion vector is distributed along a ring inside the fluid which can be gravitational analog of the torsion thick string spacetime defect. It is found that the linear background flow velocity approximation, acoustic Lorentz symmetry is breaking by the acoustic Cartan contortion in analogy to the spontaneous gravitational Lorentz breaking in Riemann-Cartan spacetime discovered recently by Kostelecky. We also show that although the acoustic torsion contributes to the fiducial observer acceleration, it is not present in Hawking radiation since is not presnt in the surface gravity of the acoustic black hole.
