Most shortwave radios tune Broadcast Band (0.5 thru 1.6 Mhz) up to about 30.0 Mhz. Some stop well short of 30 Mhz.

I am not sure what you mean by "space sounds." In space there are no sounds.

However, there are a lot of radio transmissions, which is picked up on the right kind of receivers with speakers could be listened to. A standard short wave radio is not the right kind of radio. A great deal of information from space is handled via telemetry at VHF, UHF, and Microwave Frequencies well above 30 Mhz. Telemetry is a means of sending all kinds of technical measurements in batches using bursts of data code. Each burst of code could be for a different set of measurements (with a purpose label). So while it might be possible for someone to detect these signals, they would not be much fun to listen to.

Your best bet is to use the NASA Website and search for some news clip there which includes a video of Mission Control activities, Radio Link activities, or Broadcast from the ISS.

There are some Amateur Radio capable satellites up there circling the globe which operate on Low Power at about 144 Mhz. Listeners and Users must preplan use of the frequencies for times when the satellite is overhead. Hi Gain directional antennas are also helpful.

I don't know about sounds from space but that's only because I'm uncertain of a sounds origin. I can tell you however, that the best time to pick up using a short wave radio is in the very wee hours of the morning away from highly populated areas.

I don't know about that being on shortwave radio. There's space sounds on you computer. Check out:
http://www.nasa,gov/mission_pages/cassini/multimedia/pia07966.html (this link deals with the eerie sounds of Saturn's radio emissions). Enjoy!
also, contact someone at NASA, they might be able to tell you more.
Also, check out more at http://www.naqsa.gov/vision/universe/features/halloween_sounds.html (there's several more space sounds)

it is not possible to get space sounds in u r normal shortwave radio. it requires special receiver wit high sensitivity. normally for receiving space sounds astronomers use radio telescope a specially designed device.
