Sure. Do have a look at the showvolume filter. You need a
"filter_complex" chain to take the audio, convert it to bars using the
filter, and overlay it over the original video. Something like this:

$ ffmpeg -i inputfile_or_stream -filter_complex "[0:a]asplit[a][aout]; [a]showvolume=o=v[bars]; [0:v][bars]overlay=x=main_w-overlay_w:y=0[vout]" -map "[vout]" -map "[aout]" output.mp4
