Is a sound wave produced in space if a satellite collides with a chunk of space debris?

Sound is a pressure wave travelling through a medium. A loud speaker makes a sound by literally pushing the air particles in front of it into other air particles, which in turn hit other particles and so on and so on (until the energy is dispersed to the level that the waves become undetectable).
If you want to visualise the wave mechanism think about holding both ends of a slinky spring and then moving one hand from side to side, nearer to and further from the other hand (which you hold stationary). The slinky sends alternating areas of low and high density spring along the length of the spring.
Obviously in deep space there are so few particles that is can be difficult to create any waves of low/high pressure, so you don't really have sound. Think about trying to create a Mexican wave with two people.
Apologies to those who find technical inaccuracies with this answer - but I think this is a reasonable attempt at an answer.

Not quite. A meteoroid Is a small chunk of debris in space. It only becomes a meteor once it has entered the earth's atmosphere.

What can be produced by super nova?
Neutron stars and black holes can be produced by supernovae, (more than one supernova) a gravitational collapse making all the debris of the star condense into one point. Neutron stars are immensely dense and have a strong gravity, but black holes are devastating. When a chunk of matter manages to reach the level of a black hole, its gravitational pull becomes so vastly immense that everything is pulled in and completely destroyed when it reaches a black hole.
Describe the impact-collision therory of the moon's origin?
The theory is that a moon-sized object, crashed into the earth during it's developmental stages, which then ejected a massive chunk of material from the body of the newly formed earth. This large chunk of planetary debris was then caught in the earth's gravitational field and settled into an orbital path around the earth, forming what we call the moon.
