No noise caused by an explosion in space?
What about within the matter itself?
Do you think that a blast wave in a vacuum couldn't vibrate an eardrum? Or to put it differently, do you think that a blast wave in a vacuum couldn't blow up anything?
Question: Did the "Big Bang" produce any noise?
Answer: Only in the parts that mattered.
- You heard it hear first -
DG & CP
noise requires a medium
no medium in space
Now, if you're "in" the explosion, or the actual blast radius of the explosion reaches your position while it still has a sufficient energy, then yes perhaps sympathetic vibrations could cause your whole body, and eardrums, to oscillate, and you'll "hear" something.
I think Luke was too far away from those TIE Fighters for that to apply in his case, however.
Best,
