NO, space is a vacuum and it won't conduct sound.
The sun is a very noisy place though transmitting a lot of radiation and ejecting a lot of solar particles. You can pick up the Sun transmitting as static and our Van Allen Belts are full of radiation caused by the sun.
Sound is caused by vibration and a vibration needs a medium to transmit it. On Earth it is usually the atmosphere. If you make the same sound it will travel underwater faster.
Earthquake sensors measure the tremor, the vibration, caused by an earthquake. Its sound is transmitted through the ground. It can also shake the water and the air above the ground so you can hear it there too; if you go into orbit though you won't hear anything because there isn't anything to carry the vibrations.
Since sound needs a medium to be transmitted 19th Century science proposed that space was full of ether and ether transmitted light. We have since then found out that light and radiation doesn't need a medium to conduct it, it just travels through empty regions; like the vacuum of space.
The intense pressure inside the sun, the huge shifting magnetic fields and the enormous power of a fusion reaction will cause tremendous vibrations, so if the sun was in an atmosphere or if you could put your ear next to it (and touch it) then you would hear that vibration; that noise. Of course you wouldn't survive the contact long enough to register the sound, but your vaporizing corpse would vibrate in response to it.

Yes, it does. However, we can't hear it on Earth because sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space - it needs a medium to propagate in.
The sounds in the Sun were measured by the GONG project, which measured accoustic waves in the Sun.

Sun creates some sound but is not traveling
to earth because there is no medium for sound to travel.
Astronomers study the sun by listening to these vibrations

Space doesnt conduct sound but if you were to put it in a place where sound could be conducted it would probably sound like a HUGE fire!

Yes if you could put a sensor in the sun you would hear acoustic noise.

Yes it dose. It produces a tremendous amount. However, you would have to be in its corona spear to hear it and it would deafening.. Because there is approximately 93 million miles of space between it and us, we don't hear it.
