Any noises in space?

No. There is not enough matter to transmit sound waves.

i don't so because sound cannot travel through vacuumed spaces.

beka

go and find out

No, becuase sound waves need a medium to travel in and space is a vacuum.

Niki

when u find out let me know

rabbit

no.

sound is made up of pressure waves propogating through matter (liquid, solid, gas). space is a vacuum, so there is no matter through which the sound can pass.

even if it were there, you wouldn't be able to listen to them in absence of medium.

yes, one can hear electronic noises with some receiver devices, noises transmitted from space as electromagnetic waves.

who knows

only when you fart

It It depends on the frequency. Space is a vacuum so sound can't travel in it, but light and radiation can. Scientists have been listening to the sounds of the stars for decades. Microwaves from space were detected by AT&T engineers in the 1960s which lead to the first signals of the Big Bang. The Jodie Foster movie "Contact", written by Carl Sagan had her listening to the music of the stars on her walkman, while sitting in the middle of a huge array of radio telescopics. The Search for Extraterristral Intelligence (SETI) is all done on Radio Telescopes. Until the Hubble telescope came along Space Telescopics were our biggest source of information about the universe.

There was even an album produced that was based on the radio telescopic sounds of the planets and the solar system.

If there were we wouldnt know because noise doesnt really travel that far. Imagine hor many asteriods are banging against eachother right now as you read this that we do not know about because its so far away that we are unable to hear it. Its like wearing a stethoscope in New York and expecting to hear sounds in china. our technology is not that advanced yet.

While the hard vacuum of Space does not transmit audible sound, there are still ways that Space makes itself heard .

Occasionally, for example, measurements made by instruments aboard scientific space probes have been converted to audio. These could be as simple as the click-click of particle radiation hits in a Geiger counter or the electromagnetic pickup from an ionized gas, i.e. plasma, experiment.

Radio telescopes also detect unusual noises caused by such phenomena as pulsars and various plasma processes. The Aurora, a result of the interaction of the solar wind with the earths magnetosphere, produces unusual sounds accessible by even simple low frequency radio receivers.

Also, when meteors plow throught the atmosphere the intense heat can produce ion trails that reflect radio wave echoes that are heard by VHF receivers on earth.

The Mars atmosphere is dense enough to transmit sound and a microphone is aboard Mars Polar Lander.

no. no air or something like that.

nope. No air, no sound waves.

If no one is there to hear it, There can not be any sound/noise.. Sound/noise is what is HEARD..

There is no noise in space because there is no air in space making it a vacuum and noises cannot travel through nothing , they need a medium like a solid or a liquid and thers none of that in space so no, there is no noise in space even though spaceships are REALLY loud!! : )

sound travels through air, there is no air in space

Ciano

I've always wondered about that...

oldjonib

just the sound of your alien neighbors figthing. (No, I don't think so).

Riddick

Space is a Vacuum................ Means no air no medium for sound waves to travel on it! but there is something we call INTER-Stellar Frequencies that comes from the pulsating Star or what Astronomers call SuperNova....maybe that may produce Noise Freq but much different from sound freq here on Earth!!!

Sound requires a physical medium to travel (whether it's air, stone, or whatever). Space is too much of a vacuum for sound to get anywhere.
