Yes and no.
Inside the rocket, sounds will be heard,due to the fact that there is an atmosphere for sound to travel through. Outside, as you travel up - and assuming you're wearing something to protect you on the way - the sound will gradually become fainter and fainter as you progress further towards the vacumm of space

Only in the science fiction movies.
Noises are sounds and sounds are mechanical shockwaves passing through matter. But then too, noises must be heard.
There is an old riddle, if a tree fell in the forest and no one was around would it still make a noise? Well, it may make the shockwave we call sound, but if there are no ears to hear, then the shock may be transmitted, but who registers the sound? If a noise is an unpleasant sound, then there must also be someone to pass a judgment on the sound. The soundwaves may fly but no one could say it was noisy.
Which reminds me of another my wife asked me. If a man speaks in a forest and no woman is around, is he still wrong?

Sound-waves tend to extend into the gaz substance by the waves of dilatational type, therefore you can still hear the noises of the rockets or any other spacecraft while you are out of the Earth's atmosphere as well.

The noise from teh rockets engine is nothing than vibrations propagationg through air. Take away teh air and everything is silent. Of course astronauts inside do feel the tremendous vibrations of the engine transmited through teh structural components of teh spacecraft. Apollo 11 astronaut Mike Collins did describe the Saturn V 3rd stage J-2 engine as having teh personality of a bucking bronco..not a very comfortable ride

Inside the earth's atmosphere it has got a medium to travel bt outside its the space there, where there is no medium for the sound to travel. So we can hear any noise inside our atmosphere bt not outside it.

Noises are only generated insid the rocket but since there is no air and since space is a vacumm there can be no sound.

Sounds are just vibrations, and vibration can be carried by things other than the atmosphere. As long as the engine is firing, the sound can be carried by the body of the rocket to anybody that can hear it.

Not outside of the space vehicle. Sound is compression waves moving through the air, in space there is no air; no sound. Space shuttles also don't fly like in the movie Armageddon, no atmosphere...

5 or 10 minutes. no longer lengthy in any respect. you in undemanding words pick to bypass up about 50 to one hundred miles to achieve area. The boundary is fuzzy; there is not any proper altitude the position the air ends and the vacuum of area starts off, the air in simple terms receives thinner and thinner as you bypass up. The unofficial boundary of area is one hundred kilometers, it really is about sixty 2 miles. All rockets are in area lengthy previously they upward thrust as a lot as orbital speed. They bypass exceedingly quick, so that they hide that sixty 2 mile distance right away.

like the last guy, only inside the rocket. There is no medium in vacuum for sound waves to travel, so it's silent.
