No Mahogony, don't give up! People, use common sense here. Let's examine some principles of sound, and figure out if stars make sounds that we can hear using fine-tuned acoustic equipment on earth.
1. Sound propagates from a source, outwards.
2. Sound travels differently through different mediums; metal, air, water, etc. i.e. With your ear to a rail you can hear someone hit it before the guy standing in the open air next to you can).
3. Since sound is affected by the medium it travels through, that means that sound travels through mediums.
4. In space, we know that there's no air or water that's uniformly distributed throughout. This is why our ships have to use propellant to maneuver in space (as opposed to propellers), and why astronauts have to have pressurized space suits with their own air supplies.
5. Since there's no medium uniformly distributed throughout space for sound to travel through, it does not propagate through space (except in Star Wars movies)! This is reinforced by the fact that there's no constant white noise at night from the sound of a million, billion stars bearing down on us.
Come on people!
