In space, there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves like it does on Earth. Sound requires a medium, such as air, to propagate. Since space is a vacuum devoid of air or any other medium, sound cannot travel through it. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to hear the "wind" or any other sound in a spaceship traveling through space.

In space, astronauts often describe their environment as silent, as there is no air to carry sound waves and no atmospheric pressure changes that would create vibrations. They rely on other forms of communication, such as radio transmissions or direct communication through their spacesuits or spacecraft.

It's important to note that in science fiction movies or TV shows, you may often hear the sound effects of spacecraft engines or explosions, which are added for dramatic effect. However, these sounds are purely fictional and do not represent the reality of sound propagation in space.
