No, sound waves cannot be transmitted through empty space without the presence of a medium such as air, water, or a solid substance. Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to propagate because it involves the transfer of energy through the vibration of particles in that medium.
In space, there is a vacuum, which means there is no air or any other material to serve as a medium for sound transmission. Therefore, sound waves cannot travel through space as they would in a medium like air.
However, electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, can be used to transmit information through space without the need for a physical medium. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through the vacuum of space and can be used to carry sound information when modulated appropriately. This is how we receive signals from spacecraft, such as those sent by astronauts or deep space probes.
