Then there was the collision that left us the moon.
I somehow doubt there was any atmosphere at that point for the sound to propagate through though.

Technically, there is a speed of sound in vacuum but it's not exactly measurable and is likely very very slow on average. There is a small chance of a pressure wave propagating through space if all the sparsely-spread interplanetary particles happen to collide.
Though over large distances, transmission of the pressure wave is probably best described as "I lobbed an atom at the moon and it eventually connected."

So you're saying that, technically, I could give a shit about it, but the amount of shit I give is not actually measurable?

The Planck Shit.Or the Heisenberg Shit, or Schrœdinger Shit, whichever works best.

You could immerse your head in liquid mercury. Might need some stronger drivers in your headphones though.

Fortunately, the “space” near earth is actually a (very diffuse) plasma. That means a large fraction of the things moving around are electrically charged, and you get magnetohydrodynamic coupling. Sound can propagate, though the sounds we know about most out there all come from the sun or the interaction of the solar wind with planetary magnetic fields.

What about the red balloons?

Sound propagates through stuff that isn't the atmosphere all the time.

Not here. I walked out of work the other evening to the sound of more than a few frogs trying to attract mates, and I've seen a flock of geese flying north. In January.

That would be true if I were in Australia. However, I am at 47° 59' N latitude. Temperatures reasonably ought to be hovering in the vicinity of freezing; instead, the forecast high for today is 52° F (11° C).

a Rob Roy.
It's a Roy Rogers. It's similar to a Shirley Temple, which is made with 7-up instead of Coke.
