Seems like someone is clearly mistaken:
<omega> i like star trek because it’s actually pretty realistic. the technology is fiction, but it follows real physics
<Kuiper> In Star Trek, whenever there are torpedoes or phaser fire hitting a ship, you can hear the explosions even though they’re in space. How is that “real physics?”
<omega> in space, explosions are actually louder
<omega> because there is no air to get in the way
<omega> dumbass (Source)
Imagine a film trying to be realistic and offer absolutely no sound effect in space. Probably made a pretty boring film that could’ve belong to the silent film era.
