No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.
Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.
As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.

∙ 10y agoNo sound does not travel in space. sound must travel through a medium. Space is a vacuum, no air. So therefore without air the sound waves cannot travel.

Does sound travel faster through ice snow water or steam?
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
Why can't s waves travel through fluids?
Sound waves can travel through fluids, it is just that due to the physical proporties of water, sound waves are dampened much faster than they would be in gas.
What is the name of sound waves that move through water?
They are called sound waves. Their name does not change just because they travel in water.
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
Do sound waves travel better through a solid liquid or a gas?
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
Does sound travel in the moons atmosphere?
Sound would travel in the moon's atmosphere if the moon had any atmosphere, but since it hasn't, it doesn't.
How does air affect the earths atmosphere?
I do not mean to sound rude or patronising but air IS the atmosphere.

What must sound have in order to travel?
An atmosphere. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
Why cant sound travel on the moon?
Sound can travel on the moon because there is no atmosphere. Space is a vacuum that does not allow sound to travel.
Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?
The moon's atmosphere is negligible. So, it is as good as saying that the moon does not have an atmosphere.Hence, sound does not travel through it.
Can a sound travel without atmosphere?
Sound can travel through water, metal, rock and air, so the atmosphere isn't strictly needed for sound transmission.
Why can't sound travel on an asteroid?
sound cant travel on an asteroid because it has no atmosphere. it could travel through it.
When a tree falls can sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.
What makes sound travel slowly?
Tempurature makes sound travel slowly. If it is cold outside sound travels slowly and if it is hot outside sound travels quickly.
Is thunder god bowling?
Thunder is the sound of the lightening cracking the sound barrier as it is breaking through the earths atmosphere.
Why doesn't sound travel on an asteroid?
One cannot hear sound on an asteroid since it has no atmosphere, but sound can travel though an asteroid's surface.
