From my very limited understanding sound is basically the vibrations in particles/atoms/ whatever, and light is some sort of weird mix between energy and very small particles, so why can light not carry sound? ( sorry if grammar/wording is bad high)
Edit: woke up to all of this, thank each and everyone of you so much!

Light can carry the same information sound does. For example, you can bounce a laser off a window, use a light sensor to pick up the reflection, and play it on speakers to hear what’s going on in that room.
You just can’t hear light, at least not directly, because light won’t perceptibly move your eardrums. At least not at any safe or reasonable power level. Doubly so because it’s difficult for light to get to your eardrums in the first place.
