Sound is a vibration of some medium (air, rock, etc.) that acts upon the ear (the ear senses these vibrations and our brains interpret). Since space is a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through to get to your ear. Forget what you've seen on Star Trek, you don't hear the roar of the ships engines as it flies bye, sorry.
