Where does the sound go to when you’re in a spaceship in space?
The sound hits the hull, and then has nowhere to go, does it get converted into another type of energy?

Absolutely. Sound waves are vibrations. Vibrations can be transmitted to other materials. Like electrical conductors, some materials conduct sound better than others. The amount of energy in sound is pretty low, so it’s not going to create a lot of heat or light, unless we’re talking about sound levels that would be dangerous to not only hearing but would cause death.
