Sound in a Vacuum

Take a look at this experiment with a ringing alarm hanging inside a jar with no air.

The alarm is ringing inside the glass jar.


The pump slowly sucks the air out of the jar.


What happens?

What does this mean?
What can you say about what the sound needs to be able to your ear?

This experiment might also answer the question:
Is there sound in space?
