Yes. You can demonstrate this for yourself. Use a small nail or screw to make a small hole in the bottom of each of two empty tin cans. Thread a couple of inches of one end of a ten or twenty foot string into each of the tin cans, then tie a not into the ends of the string so that the ends of the string won't come back out of the tins. With a partner hold the tins so that the string is taut between you. One of you speak into his tin whilst the other listens. You should be able to hear that the voice is carried along the string.
You can Google for tin cans and string for pictures and more instructions.
