wat.

Sound is a vibration in a medium such as air, water, or in some cases the ground. It cannot travel in a vacuum.
The closest thing to "sound" in space is outburst from things like supermassive black holes, which creates a shock wave in the (extremely diffuse) interstellar medium. However, these sounds have a frequency of about 10^-14 Hz, which would be too low for human hearing even if the timestep was turned up to "stars fly out of galaxies" levels.

Radio waves are low-frequency light, which is different from sound.

That's on the long term plan. I'm working on some major changes to the software that will take some time, but will make future development and additions easier and better (like sound and improved graphical effects). I'll be saying more about these updates soon.
