From the Sound Wiki - Sound is a travelling wave which is an oscillation of pressure...
A true vacuum is the total absence of matter in a given space.
Therefore, in a true vacuum, there is no matter in which to produce the pressure differences which lead to the production of a sound wave nor is there a medium for any would-be wave travel.

sound can not be in a vacuum because a vacuum has no air. Sound needs a medium to travel though. :)
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound does not travel in a vacuum. It needs a medium in which to travel (unlike light) and so sound cannot travel in a vacuum. However, in a solid sound travels faster than in air.

Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
