Why don't we hear it now? Or did we move faster than the speed of sound and it hasn't caught up with us yet? What happens when it catches up. Wow it could blow us right off the Earth the entire atmosphere and all. Well?
BB, Boop Oop A Doop!

Sound waves need a material through which to propagate (hence the tagline from Alien "In space, no one can hear you scream"). What ever sound there was at first can no longer propagate through space now that the universe is so large and mostly empty.
However, you could have asked a very good question, what happened to all that light? That does not need a material to propagate and hence is still with us. The light waves have been redshifted into the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum (cosmological redshift due to expansion of space-time). This can be observed as the 'Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation', and its discovery (in the 70s i think) was a massive breakthrough for theoretical physics as the redshift confirmed the age of the universe predicted through inversing the Hubble constant (which relates distance to a galaxy with its speed of recession).

Ahhhh, the age old question, if a tree falls in the woods and there is no one around to here it, does it still make a sound.
Technically speaking, there is no sound in space because there is nothing in space to "receive" the sound wave molecules as they pass through space.
Check out the web links below. The first two explain a lack of sound in space. The last one is about a "Musical Black Hole".

Well, I don't know much about it, but apparently Tommy Dorsey was already doing pretty well for himself by the time Frank Sinatra came along, and Frank wasn't a great singer but he had a pretty good manager who sort of...
Oh, wait. I thought you said Big BAND. Let me see what I can find out about banks.
It's not banks either.
Oh, bang. The sound waves are still bouncing around. There's a neat National Geographic article about it here:

It happened millions of years before we were here. Also sound only travels when it is vibrating particles. The great emptiness around the big bang would have heard nothing.
I'm sure God was covering his or her ears.

Someone turned off the alarm in the Big Bank, Silly Child.

We hear the noise that resulted from the Big Bang all the time, through the static you see on television channels without reception, the static between radio stations, etcetera, which is also known as 'Background noise" or "cosmic noise"

sorry there is no noise in space. You need air to have noises and air did not exist in Space. Forget star wars there is implosions in space not explosions. Better yet where was the Music for the film? I want to hear the creation music. Lucifer got that job

nice question!
first i tell you it is big bang(not big bank) and it is when it was only one tiny piece with mass=0 and density=infinite and temerature=infinite and it explodedto small pieces but ver hot and then successively this world has been created.
that noise which you are speaking about, was one of the things that helps the pieces to go to places. the power of it did that and now there is no noise in space.

Noise cannot travel through space.

lol
it was a collision of planets it happened once why would we hear it now?
