Most of the sound you hear travels through air. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air and reach your ears, where they are processed by your brain as sound.
when solids are packed tightly/closely together sound waves travel faster
No, you do not need a soundcard to hear sound on a computer or device. Most devices have built-in audio capabilities that allow you to hear sound through speakers or headphones without the need for a separate soundcard.
No you would not be able to hear a meteorite hit the moon because in order to hear sound, sound waves must travel through some kind of physical material, which we call the 'medium'. The medium we're most accustomed to is air, but sound also travels quite well through wood, metal, rock, etc. Space contains no air and no other material at all, so there's no medium that sound waves can travel through. For the same reason, you couldn't hear a meteorite landing on the moon even if you were standing right next to it on the moon. Also, if an average meteorite hits the Earth more than a few miles from where you're standing, you can't hear that either.
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums effectively, as long as the amplitude and frequency of the sound wave is great enough.
Yes, sound can travel through solids and liquids. In solids, sound travels faster because the particles are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of vibrations. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, but still more efficiently than in gases.
Sound needs air because sound is the traveling of vibrations from one atom to another atom. In the vacuum of space, there are no gas particles or atoms for vibrations to travel through, which means there is no sound. Air has atoms in it (oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms for the most part) that vibrations can travel through so we can hear sound so we do not have to press our ears to every object to hear its sound.
Yes, you would still be able to hear. Sound only needs a medium to travel through in order for it to be audible. Gravity is a force, not a medium. The atmosphere is the medium that you most frequently hear sound through. The more dense the medium, the more quickly the sound can travel and vice versa. For example, sound travels faster and more efficiently in water than it does in air.
Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.
sound most likely can't travel through the universe if it does have an atmosphere,but it actually can travel around in other parts and other spaces around the universe>>>>>!
Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.

sound can be produced in any medium - air, water and solids too, but most of the sounds we hear are through air. Animals like dolphins produce sound in water and hear it there.
Sound is vibrations, therefore sound can pass through most solids, liquids, and gases.

There is no "medium" on the moon, the sound does not travel since to travel the sound we must need a medium. But there is partial vacume and not completely devoid therefore sound can partially travel for a very short distance
