No sound in space, because vacuum. Okay.

But if I bumped an object in space would I still hear/sense a thud because of the vibration going through my body/suit?

If sound as a medium then yes, the vibrations will travel from the impact to you.

Yes. One application of this is that astronauts can talk to each other without a radio if they touch their faceplates together.

Assuming there's air in your suit, yes.

Otherwise, you're dead, and not hearing much of anything.

>If you turn to your left, you will see the astronauts kissing to foster better communication. Astronauts are one of the most social species in the solar system, and often can be found communicating with another Astronaut. It is rumored that Astronauts do not spend more than 10 minutes of every waking moment in silence.
