    There are two components to a sound - the sound waves traveling through the air, and a mechanism to capture those waves, and translate it into sound. BOTH components are required for there to be a “Sound.”

    In space, there is no air for the sound waves to travel. In addition, there would have to be an ear, or a microphone, or some other mechanism to capture the waves. Without either of them, there can be no sound.
