Reply	sancatsun says: we cannot hear anything without vibration of  molecules. as there is no air in space, sound wave cannot be transimitted. that means no medium for transmittion of sound. the medium can be solids, liquid or air. solid has the highest efficiency for transimitting sound wave, because the distance between particles is the shortest.   (no votes) Tags: Universe, sound, Space, hearing.

Reply	petrushka.googol says: No. Sound needs a medium to travel and space is a vacuum. Only transverse waves can propogate through space not longitudinal waves like sound.  (no votes) Tags: Universe, sound, Space, hearing.

Reply	cosminpopescu92 says: no you can't hear sounds in space because there is no air to transmit the vibrations of our vocal  cordes , think of it like the  circular waves(circles) that are being created when you throw a rock in the water,they can't exist if there is no water  (no votes) Tags: Universe, sound, Space, hearing.

Reply	Potency says: No, as many previous correspondents have said sound needs a medium to travel through. In fact many science-fiction films are flawed in this way. To experience realistically, for example the opening scene of Star Wars: Episode III - The Revenge Of The Sith, it would be best to mute your television, although I will warn you that this greatly reduces the film's brilliance.  (no votes) Tags: Universe, sound, hearing.
