No. Sound needs a medium to propagate.

Where can sound not exist?

Sound cannot exist in a vacuum, as it requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid objects) to travel through in the form of waves. Therefore, in space where there is no air or medium for sound to travel through, sound cannot exist.


Can sound exist in space outside of the space shuttle?

Sound requires a medium to be transported from one point to another. On earth, that is normally the air. In space, which is a vacuum, no sound is heard, as there is no medium to transport it.

Does matter help sound travel through an empty room?

By definition, matter is required for sound to exist. Sound waves are transferred by vibration of molecules, which is why sound does not exist within the vacuum of space. In space nobody really can hear you scream.


Why can light travel through a vacumn?

That is because light is not an atom bumbing into the next atom (as in a sound wave), but changes in the electrical and magnetic fields. These can exist in empty space.That is because light is not an atom bumbing into the next atom (as in a sound wave), but changes in the electrical and magnetic fields.

What are the properties and behavior of sound waves in a vacuum?

Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum because they require a medium, such as air, to propagate through. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to compress and rarefy, thus preventing their transmission.


Why can you see light in space but can't hear sound?

Sounds which the human ear can detect are caused by the movement of air. In a vacuum, air does not exist, therefore nothing defined as "sound" can exist. And example of sound is the clapping of two hands. The sound is created by the rapid movement of air from between the palms when clapping. If no air moves, then no sound is created. You may clap your hands in a vacuum and no sound will be emitted because a vacuum may be described as the absence of air.

Does sound really exist if you are deaf?

Interesting question.... If your brain is unable to receive and process sound waves, then I suppose sound doesn't exist to you, but that certainly doesn't mean that sound doesn't exist in general.
