Best Answer

Sound is a vibration. It can travel through anything that can vibrates, such as air, water, metal, rock, and pretty much anything that you can think of. If it can vibrate, it can theoretically transmit sound. This is why space is absolutely silent and even an explosion would be silent. Sound could exist in space if a medium such as some solid, liquid, or gas was provided
