According to the principles of physics, sound itself is unable to travel in a vacuum. Therefore, a microphone will be unable to amplify any sounds in a vacuum.

Does a vacuum cleaner work in space?

No. First of all it wouldn't stay on the ground. and why would you need to vacuum?A vacuum cleaner depends on a difference in air pressure to operate. With no air pressure in space, there could be no difference in air pressure and thus no operation.Inside a manned spacecraft, which is usually pressurized a vacuum cleaner will obviously work just fine; especially for collecting and disposing of water globules. Also the standard NASA space toilet uses a modification of a vacuum cleaner for urine collection.


How does sound proof glass work?

Sound proof glass is actually two panes of glass that have a vacuum between them. Since sound is a wave, it need a medium through which to travel. That's why astronauts can't talk to each other in space without the use of microphones. With no atter, sound can't be transmitted. So the vacuum between the panes of glass creates an area of nothingness where sound cannot be transmitted, and makes it soundproof.
