You probably know the answer to that one Elizabeth, but i will try to enlighten all who don't know. Sound waves need some form of matter in order to travel. Since there is no form of matter in a perfect vacuum, one would have to conclude that the sound waves travel only through the object that made the sound, i.e. the bell. Am I close? > Elizabeth
