I imagine the sound of the hull + everything else shuddering would probably dominate the perceived sound from eardrums or direct excitation of the air.

- dotancohen 2y agoThe hull is in a vacuum, and so are the eardrums.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoWhat part of the question or the premis stipulated that the eardrums are in vacuum? Who cares if the eardrums of a dead human vibrate? The hull and all other parts of the ship or suit around the eardrums would all also vibrate.
- dotancohen 2y agoThe idea is that the eardrums are not vibrating due to the air - so such medium is irrelevant to the question. GP specifically said "hear things explode in space".
- Brian_K_White 2y agocan't argue with that
- pezezin 2y agoIf we are talking about manned spacecraft, I would expect the interior of the hull to be held at 1 atm.
