Spaceships do make sounds ..... inside the spaceship

Everything else on the outside is dead quiet

In the Star Wars novels (IIRC this was established as early as ANH) sounds are generated by the computer to help you keep track of ships around you.

You don't even need the ship to have active acoustics, just that the other ships whizzing by using "insert sci-fi techno babble force here" affect space and matter around them in such a way that energy waves from that sci-fi force moving silently through the vacuum and turn into sound when they interact with the technology/structure of your own ship or spacesuit. Like a microwave generating sparks and a crackling noise across metal foil.
