Vacuum is empty space, devoid of any mater, particles and even air. Vacuum is a state which is referred to being complete emptiness. For example - the outer space is a near perfect vacuum.
Sound is a mechanical wave and mechanical waves are propagated by the oscillation of molecules in a medium like, air, water or gas. There are no molecules in the vacuum to produce oscillations. So sound cannot travel through vacuum.
