STM, I'm arguing that the explosive debris of the Big Bang was not a vacuum i.e. it was "stuff" and was therefore capable of acting as a medium for soundwaves.
:
So what you are saying is that would be able to hear a star exploding a milisecond before the explosion hits you? Well... I suppose. But you won't be able to hear it if you are at any sort of safe distance, even if the sound would normally reach that far.
Put it differently, you can fire a cannon in space without hearing it, even if you are right next to it.

Havoc. This is hypothetical. I'm not actually going to stand in front of an exploding universe.
You can hear explosions that are around you. Vibrations don't form one infinitismally thin layer that passes by like a bubble, things keep vibrating for a while after the force passes. And considering the Big Bang was a superdense explosion, all stuff and no space, that would certainly be the case there.
Also, considering the explosive radius of the Big Bang occupied all space in the universe, so far as to say that the explosion
was the rapidly expanding universe, I highly doubt there's any kind of "safe distance" to be had.
