'Sound' as we generally think of it, which is vibrations which are then interpreted by your ears, cannot travel through space as there is no medium. There has to be a conduit of some sort.... air, water, concrete, space suit, whatever. However electromagnetic 'sound' which isn't really sound at all, travels through space just fine. However to hear it, it has to be 'translated' to something we can hear. It's what your radio and tv does. The radio station takes sound waves, converts them to either an analog or digital representation of them, and sends to your radio, which converts them back to sounds. When you hear static on your radio it's simply background electromagnetic interference being 'interpreted' as sound, not 'sound' as we generally think of it.

This is a logical explanation indeed.

I guess with that being said the thread dies

I ask this because it was said that in space there is no sound. So this means if you where to watch a realistic Star Wars movie there would be no sound when galactic ships fight against the rebels by shooting their photons or the engines wouldn't be heard when flying by? What is the reality behind this? Is there sound or no sound. Is gravity a factor or not? What makes sound? Is it just frequencies and waves? ONLY IF YOU FART IN SPACE.......... |

Alot of people must be having gases to mention it on the threads! Stop eating those burritos

so one says no and the other says yes you need atmoshere to resonate Agree!

Sound waves require a material medium to travel. Space usually does not offer such a medium.
If two astronauts out in the void of space put there helmets together and yelled they could probably hear each other by the contact of the helmets and the air in there suits: yes. |

In the vacuum there is no sound, however sound can travel through space. Sound = vibrations. No molecules to vibrate = no sound.

Sound is vibration, in a perfect vacuum there is nothing to vibrate, if there's something to hear the vibration it's not a vacuum.
Space has matter which can vibrate and will produce sound, so yes there is sound in space when you're close to a ship, meteor and/or whatever else. |

By definition, sound is vibration.
So if there is nothing to vibrate (a vacuum) there can be no sound. edit: Sorry Hullo, I see you already made that point.

yeah.. it sounds like this
WA-- ZOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM! |
