Sound is a wave in a fluid (gas or liquid). There is no atmosphere in space, so there is no sound.

Why can you hear better in the rain?
you cant because u hear rain.
Why cant you hear ultra sonic sound?
we can not hear ultra sonic sounds because u can not hear them
Why is a vacuum a good material for ear defender?
a vacuum is a space with no particles in it. Sound needs particles to travel through because it is just vibrations travelling through the air. Particles vibrate and hit each other and pass the vibration on. But if there is no particles, the vibration cant travel so you cant hear anything- that's why astronauts need radios to communicate, space is a vacuum. Sound travels better through solids because the particles are tightly packed together so the vibrations are passed on more quickly whereas in a gas the particles are spaced further away from each other and can travel around, so they don't hit each other as often, so the sound vibrations take more time to travel around. So yeah i guess a vacuum is a good material for an ear defender :)
Why cant you hear a sound behind a closed door?
You can.
Can sound propagate in liquid and solid?
Yes, and yes.-- Whales can hear each other.-- You can hear through motel walls, especially when you want to sleep.
What did Sunitha Williams hear in space?
i dont know who she is , but u cant hear any thing in space >.>
Why astronauts cannot hear each other in space?
Space is vacuum, and sound can't travel in vacuum.
Astronauts on a space walk cannot hear each other. Why?
They can not hear each other through the natural environment due to there being no medium for the sound waves to travel through. However, they can hear each other through the use of radio communication.
Why do elephants need to hear better then other animals?
elephants need to hear better because they communicate* in a lower frequency which means we cant hear them communicate* but they need better ears so they can hear each other *they communicate in low frequency drone's like bird tweeting except they are a lot lower and we cant hear them
Why cant we hear each other on the moon?
The Moon has no atmosphere, only vacuum. There is nothing for the sound waves to travel in.
Can sounds travel through empty space?
no, an empty space is like a vacum it absorbs all of the vibrations so u cant hear a thing
Can you hear can you hear through space suits?
Indeed! You can't hear what's going on around you, but you can hear other astronauts through their radio.
How people cant hear you in space?
Sound in a hearing context (rather than a wave in a metal structure etc) is a pressure vibration in air. Space has no air.
Why can you hear through the Kinect speakers but they cant hear you?
Tell the other person to check their volume for you. Their volume might be off for you
Why cant you hear any sound on moon?
There is nothing to hear in space and on the moon you are too far away to hear anything from earth the scientific reason is that sound moves and bounces to our ears with gravity but because there is no gravity in space it is impossible for sounds to reach us, they simply float away
Why cant you hear one one another in space in space?
Sound needs something to travel through. That's usually air on Earth. Space is a vacuum - therefore, sound cannot travel through it.
Is sound energy due to vibrating of objects?
its the vibrating of mollecules. That's why in space, you cant hear anything because there are no mollecules to vibrate.
