Eli5 Why can light not carry sound?

505 views

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!

Humans generally can hear vibrations between 20 and 20,000 hertz. Light has frequencies in the range of 420 to 750 trillion hertz, way beyond us.
