You can, it is just rather quiet. An acoustic guitar is designed to amplify its own sound. This happens because the sound waves travel into the hole in an acoustic, they reverberate and echo out through the hole. An electric (typically) does not have a hole for this purpose, so all you can hear are the strings reverberating. But you can hear it if you strum the string hard.
