Sound waves have to have something physical to travel through, such as air or water. There is nothing in the vacuum for the waves to move in.

Where might expect you hear no sound at all?

One place where a person might actually expect to hear no sounds is in a vacuum. This is because sound waves only travel when there is matter (air in our case) present, and in a vacuum there is no matter. Outer space is another place one can expect to hear no sounds, though that is because it too, is mostly a vacuum.
