    True. A sufficiently low-pitch sound will travel just fine. In neutral gas, it only breaks down as the wavelength reaches the mean free path of the particles.

    On top of that, space is usually filled with ionised gas, and sound could travel electromagnetically. Actually calculating what that looks like in near-Earth space is beyond me.
