That is correct, sound needs a media to propagate. 
Sound can not propagate in a vacuum. 
Sound waves, unlike light, are essentially compression waves and the 
sound in order to move from one place to other needs molecules to 
compress and decompress against, hence the wave is transmitted. In a 
vacuum, there are no molecules. Hence no sound. 

Neriah: okay. but it doesn't need to move. it can stay there where it is produced
