Don't follow your train of thought CherryNoble but I'll try to explain things.

Shockwaves can only be produced by motion if there is a  medium for them to travel through, there is no medium in space so a shockwave cannot be created by clapping. Explosions can still occur because the material creating the explosion becomes the shockwave.

Sound needs a medium to travel through, so there is no sound in space. There is however sound inside a space suit. As there is atmosphere inside the suit, motions of the person inside and any impacts would make noise. DE largely adheres to this though sometimes you can hear things close by in archwing without any contact.
