No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.
Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.

As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.

Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?

Yes, sound can travel in the atmosphere of the moon, but it would be very different from sound travel on Earth due to the moon's thin atmosphere. Sound waves would propagate through the moon's atmosphere much slower and with less intensity than on Earth. Additionally, the lack of air molecules on the moon means that sound would not be able to travel very far.


When a tree falls can sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.


Why doesn't sound travel on an asteroid?

One cannot hear sound on an asteroid since it has no atmosphere, but sound can travel though an asteroid's surface.


Does sound travel outside Earth's atmosphere space?

No. On Earth, we can hear things by the vibrations of the atmosphere being converted into tiny electrical impulses by the vibration of our ear drums. Beyond our atmosphere, there isn't enough mass to carry any vibration.
