How fast does sound take to get from the sun?

Sound must have matter to travel through - we are used to hearing sound that travels through air. But there is no air in outer space. We have heard sound that travels through water, but, there is no water in outer space either. In fact, outer space consists of a vacuum . . . not a floor cleaner, but a condition in which there is no matter - no air, no water, no nothing. So their is no sound transmission from the Sun. Have you heard any?

A medium is an object that has something flowing through it. For sound it could be water, air or even solid like a wall.

Why Sound produced in air cannot be heard in deep water why?

well there is sound and it is vet clear for any type of fish or any sea creature under there but it is harder for us to hear because we speak English and don't understand the music or hear it When we speak, we give off air. Through air, we hear and speak. But with water blocking, sound is distorted and hard to understand.
