No.
Sound consists of mechanical vibrations within a medium (such as the air). Within a vacuum, there is no such medium, and thus no sound.
(However, solid objects will still vibrate in a vacuum, and an observer in direct contact with a vibrating object would be able to "hear" these vibrations despite the lack of air.)

What do you hear when an alarm clock rings in a vacuum?
Nothing! Sound is wave and needs a medium to pass through in order to be heard !!!Nothing, because sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
How does the speed of sound change in a vacuum?
sound can not be in a vacuum because a vacuum has no air. Sound needs a medium to travel though. :)
Why a bell ringing inside a vacuum chamber cannot be heard?
sound needs a medium to travel. material medium is necessary for propogation of sound. in vaccum sound do not travel. that's the reason why we are not able to hear sound in this case. Jordi101
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Why cant you hear a bell inside of a vacuum jar?
Sound is mechanical energy, and the energy of the sound is transferred into the medium through which it is travelling. As the energy of sound is carried by the medium, the vacuum of space will not support a sound wave.
What did the bell in a vacuum tell scientists about sound?
THat sound requires matter to travel to be heard. Therefore a vacuum has no matter hence no sound can be heard
Can sound travel or heard in a vacuum?
Cannot be heard as sound being a mechanical wave badly needs a material medium
Did ultrasonic sound are heard in solar system?
No, because sound cannot travel in the vacuum.

Why wouldn't you hear the roar of a rocket engine in space?
Space is essentially a vacuum. Sound needs a medium to travel through to be heard. Therefore the sound of a rocket engine cannot be heard in space.
Can sound exist in space outside of the space shuttle?
Sound requires a medium to be transported from one point to another. On earth, that is normally the air. In space, which is a vacuum, no sound is heard, as there is no medium to transport it.

What sounds do Neptune make?
All the stars and the planets make no sound out there in vacuum. Any sound waves use a medium like air, water or any solid. A vacuum, like space, does not contain any particles; therefore sound waves have no medium through which to travel and thus sound will not travel or be heard.
What does not make sound?
A vacuum does not make sound. Unlike a vacuum cleaner, which does!
