Can you hear sound in space???

Answer 1

No.
Sound travels by compression waves, so it needs a medium to be transmitted through. Most of space is vacuum.
You can arrange things to allow it; astronauts can hear sound when they are in the space station, eg, because the station is kept pressurized. But sound doesn't travel through the vacuum, no.

Answer 2

Nerd answer:
Space is a vacuum, or emptiness, therefore there is no air.
Sound is not a substance all by its self, but rather a wave of whatever substance it is going through- most commonly air. Just like you see waves at the beach, the waves would not exist if there was no water. Same thing with sound. There is no air for the sound to travel in, therefore you would not hear anything. However, communication can be achieved through radio waves, which is light at a certain frequency. Light waves- which include x-rays, radio waves, microwaves- have baffled scientists for years because light does not need anything to travel on. Most scientists today speculate they are a pair of perpendicular waves traveling on each other, somehow making there way though space. That is how astronauts communicate with each other in a vacuum.

Normal answer:
No, you cannot hear anything in space, but you can hear people over the radio if you have one.

Answer 3

Yes. You can here sound if you have air around you in your space suit or spacecraft, and you can always hear internal body sounds...such as the last few beats of your heart if you suddenly find yourself in a true vacuum...you might even get to 'hear' the timpanis of your ears blow out if you hold your breath during the event...although I wouldn't recommend trying it, since the accompanying lung embolism will probably distract you.

Sound does not travel through a vacuum, so if you have a blaring subwoofer rattling itself apart half an inch from your suit's faceplate, you won't hear it unless it physically touches your suit, thus giving the sound an opportunity to travel through the air around your head.

Answer 4

Your ears would only register 'sound' if the vibrations from a source are transported to you. Most of us humans 'hear' sound by the air molecules bouncing into each other (sound waves) that reach our ears with enough energy to perceive it as a 'sound'. Dolphins & whales do the same with sound waves traveling through a denser medium such as water.
Since there is no air or water in space, you would not be able to percieve these vibrations unless you were in direct contact with the source. So if you were able to remove your space helmet and place the bones of your head into direct contact with the source you might be able to 'hear' the vibration being conducted into your inner ear through your skull bones. (Try touching the handle of a tuning fork to the bones of your skull, you will 'hear' the vibrations directly through this "bone conduction" process.)

Answer 5

No, if you mean in outer space. 1. Sound does not travel in space. 2. Your ear will not be directly connected to space.

Answer 6

NO.

sound waves travel through a medium such as steel, wood, water, air, etc. Space is a vacuum with nothing in it. so the sound waves cannot bump from one molecule to the next...There is no next molecule, or next molecule after that...It is a vacuum.

Answer 7

there is nothing in space for sound waves to move on so there is no sound

Answer 8

No. No air for sound waves to move on.

Answer 9

No, there is no air for the sound waves to pass through.

Answer 10

No, airless vacuum means no sound waves.

No lasers, no explosions and no-one but no-one will hear you scream!
