Come on, do you really think the show would be as fun if all the space scenes were deathly silent?
Thats just one of those rules of physics that you just have to ignore....

Sound is heard as a result of changes in air pressure (vibrations).
So, even if a ship exploded in space, you would hear nothing.

Kinda like we shouldn't be able to see the little phasers shooting through space unless space is a lot more dusty then we thought.

Yes but you still don't hear it, because nobody can survive in SPACE without a pressurised suit. And also, the ship doesn't have any plasma exhaust. The used plasma is converted in to other energy sources to be used by systems such as the holodeck.

No, it dose emit exohst plasma, they use it to track warp jumps and cloaked ships.

Yeah, their all right. You cannot hear space in sound but you hear a whoosh because the casting crew is letting out their breath because nobody got hurt.

That is not entirely true, radio waves travle in space, so sound can travle thrue space, also when a ship vents plasma it nutralizes the vacum in that aria for a second alowing sound to travle thrue the disapating plasma cloud.

This comes from the star trek magazine: The sound is just an effect they use. They know that it wouldn't really be heard but they do it for effect.

Radio waves are not sound. They are electromagnetic radiation, just like light. Just with different wavelength.
Sound always requires a medium to travel through. So it can't travel in a vacuum.
Even if a sound wave would travel in a momentary cloud of gas it would probably get badly distorted. So it wouldn't really sound "normal".

So if a tree falls down in a forest, will it make a sound, though nothing is there to hear it?

The question is: Why should a tree not make a sound, just because nobody can hear it?
