Sound is the perception of changes in pressure in the air.
Slow changes of pressure cannot be heard. Once the changes happen faster than 20 times a second, you start to hear sound. Above 16,000 changes per second and it goes beyond human perception.
You need air (or any gas) for sound to exist. Sound cannot be heard in a vacuum.
