The sounds reflect off of other surfaces. Usually the reflective sounds will create an illusion that they are coming from every direction. That's why city ambulances running lights/sirens often get in accidents, is drivers don't know where they are coming from and don't yield. Sirens are really loud...

Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?

Find the frequency of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.5 meter. Could you hear this sound?

To find the frequency, use the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 m/s, the frequency of the sound wave would be approximately 229 Hz. Yes, this frequency is within the audible range for humans, so you would be able to hear this sound.


Why are we unable to hear sound in outer space?

There is no sound in outer space because space is a vacuum. Sound needs matter to travel through and vibrate in order for us to hear it. Air vibrates in our ears to make us hear sound. Since space has no air we wouldn't be able to hear anything.
