ELI5: If there is no sound in space does that mean stars are silent?

I did Google this a bit and understand that sounds needs a medium to travel. 

So if we could hypothetically stand in the surface of the sun would we hear nothing? 

If two asteroids collided would it be completely silent?

We'd hear the noise of millions of atomic bombs going off all the time. And the solar wind too for good measure. 

Stars are RIDICULOUSLY LOUD, it's just that over vacuum the only part of that noise that gets to us is the electromagnetic one (light and radiation).

Collisions between asteroids are also very loud... To the asteroids themselves and the parts of them flung off because of the collision. But since there's no atmosphere around to transmit those vibrations, so long as you're not touching them it would appear to be silent.

Absence of atmosphere does not mean absence of noise, it just means that noise is not going to be transmitted to things that are not touching the source.
