If we (humans) and light can travel freely through the vacuum of space, then why does sound need a medium to travel through something and can’t travel in space?

Sound is not really real. Sound is just how your brain handles vibrations that it detects. The only ‘real’ part of sound is vibrations. Vibrations need to travel through something. Vibrations cannot travel through space, because there is basically nothing to vibrate.
