Sound cannot travel through a vaccum due to the fact that sound travels using vibrations and there is nothing to vibrate in a vaccum. for example on earth there is air for sound to travel through but in a vaccum there is no air.

And in all those battle scenes in Star Wars where you hear lasers firing through space and spaceships flying past you shouldn't be able to hear them :)

The velocity of sound in vacuum is?

The velocity of sound in vacuum is 0 m/s because sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and therefore, there is no velocity of sound in vacuum.


What experiment shows the notion of sound in a vacuum?

Sound needs gases to travel through, therefore it does not exist in a vacuum. In other words to my knowledge there is no experiments where sound is created in a vacuum.
