Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum. This is because sound waves are mechanical waves and mechanical waves need a medium to travel, for example, air and water. Sound in physics is defined as “a vibration that propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.” Thus, it is a false statement that sound can travel in a vacuum.
