No, sound requires a medium to travel.
No it must travel through matter

What else can I help you with?

In what media do sounds move fastest?

vacuum answer 2 Sound is a vibration of molecules, and thus cannot travel in a vacuum, where there are no molecules.


What has to happen to make sounds travel?

Atoms transfer sound energy through vibrations. If there are no atoms, such as in a vacuum, sounds cannot be transmitted.


What can sounds not travel through?

Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.


What do sounds travel in?

Anything that is not a vacuum. A vacuum is a space where nothing exists. It is just space. Very dense things also stop sound such as lead.


Why sounds cannot travel in vacuum?

the sound waves are the matter wave, which always require a medium to travel. Because matter waves travel due to vibration in matter or energy transformation via consecutive particles from the source to the destination. Since in vacuum there is no medium via waves as energy can transfer ,so sound can not travel in vacuum.


Where can sounds not travel?

Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.


Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?

No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.

Where might expect you hear no sound at all?

One place where a person might actually expect to hear no sounds is in a vacuum. This is because sound waves only travel when there is matter (air in our case) present, and in a vacuum there is no matter. Outer space is another place one can expect to hear no sounds, though that is because it too, is mostly a vacuum.


Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?

Light does travel through a vacuum.


Why can't sounds travel in a vacuum?

because sound waves are vibrations, and in a vacuum, there is nothing for the sound to go through.


Why do sounds NOT travel through outer space?

Sound is a vibration when something makes a noise every thing around vibrates in order to make the sound for it to travel it needs particles to vibrate there is almost no matter in outer space hence no particles
