Sound is basically the vibration of atoms or molecules of a solid, liquid, or gas that propgate throughout the medium. Sound MUST have a medium to travel through; if there were no medium there to vibrate in, it would have no frequency and therefore would not be able to be heard. Since a vacuum is a space devoid of all matter, there would be no medium for the sound waves to propgate in, so therefore, no sound.

Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Sound cannot go through vaccum
What Happens To Sound In Vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vaccum due to the fact that sound travels using vibrations and there is nothing to vibrate in a vaccum. for example on earth there is air for sound to travel through but in a vaccum there is no air. And in all those battle scenes in star wars where you hear lasers firing through space and spaceships flying past you shouldn't be able to hear them :)
Is sound bounce back in emptey space?
No. Sound needs something to travel through, and space is just vaccum - so no sound.
Can sound travel through a gas like air?
Of course. It does all the time. It can travel through anything with molecules. Probably not a vaccum though.
What are some interesting facts about sound energy?
sound energy require some kind of material to travel through and they cant move through a vaccum
