Obviously not.

Punks distinguishable characteristic specifically related to sound is it's amateurism and minimalism

The approach to music from a metal standpoint is very different

Similar to punk however saying "metal" by itself practically means nothing when you're just talking about sound
Except many metal groups write simple and amateur music. While metal is praised for its speed and complexity most of the time, it doesn't do away with bands that are metal, but meet the minimalist and amateuristic aspect of punk. Look at Black Sabbath, much of their music is simple to play. So let's consider them punk rock.
