They can; the Apollo moon landing heard the sound of hammering, among other things. See link below.

Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?
Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.
Why can't sounds be heard on the moon?
Sound can't be heard on the moon because sound need a medium to travel and particles to collide each other in order to travel. since in a vaccum (space) you do not have air, meaning no particles, sound can't be heard on the moon.
No sound can be heard on moon because it has?
because it doesn't have sound waves
If an atomic bomb were detonated on the surface of the Moon how long would it be until the explosion is heard on Earth?
The explosion would never be heard on Earth. Sound cannot travel through the near-vacuum of space.
What is the velocity of sound at moon surface?
It is 0. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is no medium through which sound can propagate.
Does moonlight come directly from the moon?
Moonlight is sunlight reflected off the surface of the moon.
Can an alarm clock be heard on the moon?
On the open surface of the moon - no. Sound needs air to travel through, and the moon hasn't got any. Had you brought one with you into your space ship / space station etc where there is air, it'll work just like on Earth.
First song played on the moon?
No drums can not be heard on the moon as the moon does not have any wind or breeze totake the sound anywhere. No drums can not be heard on the moon as the moon does not have any wind or breeze totake the sound anywhere.
If you scream on the moon can it be heard on earth?
No it can not be heard on earth because for a scream to travel as sound waves air is required and there is no air on the moon or between the earth and the moon. However if you were in a space suit with a working radio and screamed on the moon, that could be heard on earth because radio waves do not need air to travel in.
Can dogs hear the sound of the moon?
No. Sound needs something to travel through, air or a solid structure. There's a fair bit of nothing between the Moon and the Earth, so there's nothing from the Moon that can be heard on Earth by anyone.
Will sound travel faster or slower on moon than on earth?
Sound will not travel on the moon because on the moon there is no air, and sound works by vibrating particles next to each other. YES IT WONT TRAVEL AT ALL
Does speed of sound through a bank vault door less than the speed of sound on the surface of the moon?
No. A bank vault door is much denser than the moon's atmosphere and so any sound will travel much faster in the door.
