And to add to this. Let's say we remove the thinning atmosphere issue cause the less medium issue is exactly light why we can't hear anything in space. So sound travels as far as it's gonna go no matter what or how much it's going thru.
Sound doesn't just go forever like light does. It has a finite distance before it's undetectable. So with the thin atmosphere and space issues removed, would you say hear rush hour in LA from space? No you wouldn't. Could you hear Krakatoa erupt? Maybe, but surely not beyond the moon and I think that's being generous.
But I think the biggest thing here, in my scenario we wouldn't hear a GODDAMN THING ON EARTH! The sun would be so loud it would be the only thing we would ever hear. In fact if this was the case life most likely wouldn't have evolved hearing cause what's the point.
