No, sound waves require a medium to travel through, so if there were no air or any other matter to transmit sound, it would not be able to travel. Sound is a mechanical wave that propagates through the vibration and interaction of particles in a medium. When an object or source creates vibrations, these vibrations are transmitted as compressions and rarefactions in the surrounding medium, which we perceive as sound.
In the absence of a medium, such as in a vacuum, sound waves cannot propagate because there are no particles to transmit the mechanical vibrations. This is why sound cannot travel in outer space, where the vacuum of space lacks the necessary particles to transmit sound.
However, it's worth noting that there are other types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves (including light waves), that can travel through a vacuum because they don't require a medium. Electromagnetic waves can propagate through empty space as they are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
