Is there any way to create a passive low pass filter for audio using only inductors (including their cores of course), not capacitors or other devices?

All right, I have just realized that a single coil in series can cut-off higher frequencies and leave only audio. This is not sharp but the audio and MHz range of frequencies is too far appart.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
 

Depending on the load resistance a single series L will have any -3dB LP cut-off frequency ; but for a LR filter the fall-off tempo will always be 20 dB / decade. For faster cut-off fall-off you need ti increase the order of the filter ; via multiple L an C components
