A vacuum cannot carry sound. Sound waves need a medium for transportation; usually it is air, but sound can travel through liquids or solids, too.
Sound is carried usually by air, but it can also be transferred through liquids and solids. A vaccum, like space, has no molecules or atoms to carry or transfer sound through, therefore no sound is heard.

Which instrument is used to transmit sound to greater distances?
Audio Amplifier
Can sonar be used out of water?
sonar can not be used outside water it is used under water to transmit sound waves through ultrasonic pulses
How can you measure distance with sound waves?
Animals such as bats project sound waves at objects and use the time until the perception the reflected wave to determine the distance of the object. This is called echolocation. Humans have used the same principles to develop Sonar technology, which is used primarily underwater to detect objects under water (we have radar and plain sight to detect objects in air).
What toothed wheel used to transmit energy?
A cog.
An instrument used to magnify sound is?
An instrument used to magnify sound
Which instrument is used to transmit sound to greater distances?
Audio Amplifier
How are guitar transmitters used?
Guitar transmitters are used to transmit the sound that the musician is creating on the guitar to a speaker which is magnifying the sound for the audience.
Can sonar be used out of water?
sonar can not be used outside water it is used under water to transmit sound waves through ultrasonic pulses
Describe ways that echoes are used in measurement?
The speed of sound is the distance travelled by the sound waves in the time between the original sound and the echo. For a direct echo, the distance travelled is double the distance to the reflecting surface.
What is a micro phone?
A microphone is a transducer, that converts sound pressure waves into a varying electric signal. It can then be used to amplify, record or transmit sound to various other devices.
Which em waves are used in wireless technology?
Radio-waves are used in wireless technologies to transmit data between devices over a short distance.
How was the great wall used to transmit military info?
they would run down and tell other military purposes
What does a step up transformer do at a powerplant?
It is used to step up the voltage in order to transmit it a long distance where it goes into a stepdown transformer and then into your home .
What is a remote control used for?
A remote control is used to control an electronic device form a distance without wires. It uses infrared or radio frequencies to transmit the data to the device.
An oscilloscope can be used to produce visible pictures of sound waves. If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measu?
Wavelenght
Why AM is used to transmit picture iv TV?
There is no real reason. In the UK's old analogue system AM was used for picture and FM used for sound. In France they used the opposite system, FM for picture and AM for sound. Everything is going digital now, so does not apply, the RF signal is a FSK data signal.
What is voip softswitch used for?
A VoIP softswitch (software switch), is a device used generally to transmit data between telephone calls with sound and also images. A example that is possible because of it is videoconferencing.
