No, mechanical waves, like sound waves, require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel through. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for these waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate. However, electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through the vacuum of space because they do not require a medium to propagate.
