Yes, that is why they cannot travel through a vacuum. Searching "sound wave particle rarefraction" in Google may give you more information on why this is.
Sound waves travel through any medium with the exception of vacuum. The denser the medium, the faster the sound waves travel, because the waves can be farther apart..
waves are easily travel in medium.....
The molecule of the medium vibrates at the dirction in which the wave travels
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
the answer is vacuum.

medium
Sound waves are a vibration of molecules in the medium through which it passes. A vacuum has no medium, it is void of matter. Thus, no molecules to vibrate, no sound waves.
Sound travels through mediums in sound waves.
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
