The answer is no. Perfect elasticity means the ball does not lose energy to internal heating. We presume the surface dropped upon is also perfectly elastic. Vacuum means the ball has no air resistance thus no drag. An argument could be made that the bounce must not make any sound, since this would remove energy from the system. There are some other odd mechanisms one could think of, like van der Waals, but the basic answer you are looking for is "no".
