i wouldnt, they might, but probably not. sound requires a medium to travel through such as air or water.on the moon there is litttttle atmosphere so sound waves cannot travel as they do on earth.

1. If you were another astronaut, the only way you could hear a noise would be vibrations captured in the other astronauts spacesuits (as a result of physical contact with the impacting objects) being transmitted over your common radio frequency (assuming you had your in-suit radio turned on).
2. Assume you were outside the astronauts and for a moment could exist in the vacuum and extreme heat (in the sun) or extreme cold (in the shade or at night), the answer is you would hear nothing, because sound requires some kind of physical medium to travel through (air, water, rock).
3. If you were on the earth, you could hear something if you were listening to the suit radios of the two astronauts and you might hear the vibrations of the impact from within their suits.
Get it?

Maybe... If there is a medium to conduct it, e.g. your head touches the astronaut's spacesuit. Old experiment: tap a fork or spoon: not very loud. Now, tie the tableware in the middle of string, with about 1.5 ft (0.5 m) loose on each side. Loop the string over your ears so the spoon dangles at the bottom of the V of string and tap it. It should sound a LOT louder, with string conducting the sound.

Yes. They would hear a sound in the same way you'll hear a sound if someone taps on a railroad and you're a few feet down from them. The vibration of the collision will be transfered up the astonauts arms, and eventually be heard. However, given the soft tissue and clothing they're wearing, it probably wouldn't be very loud.

Yes. There would be a vibration transfer between the astronauts' bodies and through the ground. Sound relies on vibrations and air is not the only medium through which it can travel.

I don't think they would hear a sound. Sound waves would probably travel different up there, and the hemlet may prevent the noise. I'm not 100% but I think they wouldn't.

No, sound does not travel in a vacuum. From what I am told, the moon has no atmosphere there is a vacuum there.

No. Because I'm too far from the moon.
Silly question.

Nope...not one nosie will be heard. Several nosie's will have their nostrils picked clean.

I won't hear anything. I'm on earth.
