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!

The basic explanation is that sound is vibration in a gaseous medium that can interact with our eardrums. Light doesn’t interact with your eardrums, thus you can’t perceive it as sound. Instead, its frequencies you see as different colors (in the visible spectrum) it can “vibrate” at frequencies much higher and lower than what you can see.
But, you can use light as a carrier of information, using that to communicate sound to a machine that can interpret that back.
