In the vacuum of space sound waves are unable to propagate, so sound doesn't carry by usual means.
But thanks to the modern sensor suites available today, pilots are able to hear the sounds of their surroundings as though flying through atmosphere.
Vibrations in the hulls of ships on sensors register in the sensor echos, providing accurate profiles for reproduction of engine noise, debris and weapon impacts, and even the signal displacement of passing energy weapons can be put to use.
These sound profiles are fed into the signal processor and broadcast to the pilot through the ship's sound system, giving the pilot an accurate soundscape in which to navigate their surroundings.
Thank an engineer today, for taking the silence out of space!
