  1. nothing

A sound wave is a mechanical wave that can travel through any gasses, liquids, or solids. sound waves can not travel in outer space because there is nothing for the wave to travel through.
Sound is vibration. Thus, it travels through anything that has mass. While it can travel through the air, the travel time and the clarity get better and better as the object gets denser and denser. Seeing as space has no mass, sound cannot travel in space.

Sound can travel through any air we can breath, in poisonous fumes, and smoke.

When sound encounters a solid, it becomes converted into a vibration in the solid, and may well re-radiate as sound on the far side of the object (e.g. wall).
