No. Sound waves are transmitted by the physical vibrations of matter, and there is no matter to speak of beyond our atmosphere. Oh yeah? What about dark matter?

What particles are in the Moon's atmosphere to stop sound?
The moon has no atmosphere at all. That's why sound won't travel there. If there were anyatmosphere ... especially one with particles in it ... then sound could move around just fine.
Speed of sound from earth to moon?
For sound to travel, a certain amount of molecules per unit of space are required. In space (that is, outside the atmosphere) -specifically the space between the Earth and the moon- this threshold is not met, so there is no sound. The answer to this question is "Not Applicable."
How long does it take for sound to travel a mile on the moon?
Since the moon has little to no atmosphere, sound cannot move as it has no medium to travel thru.
Why can't sound travel from a satellite to earth?
Sound can only travel through air. Since the satellite is in orbit above the atmosphere, there is no air to transmit the sound in the vacuum of that space.
Does sound travel better inside or outside?

Can sound travel on the moon?
