Sound and light are two TOTALLY different things.
Sound is compression waves in the air. If something happened 45 miles away, someone popped a baloon, you would never hear it because it would lose energy as it travels through the atmosphere.
Sound can't travel through space either, it is a vacuum.
But light is NOT that at all. The nature of light has been debated forever in history, but if you are seriously interested, you should check out:

You make this statement but you do nothing to prove that my theory is wrong.
If a bullet is fired at 12:00 and you hear it at 12:03 it took sound 3 seconds to travel the distance between you and the gun. If you traveled at the speed of sound towards the gun at 12:00 you HEAR the bullet sooner but it is still fired at 12:00 if you start your journey at 12:01 you will still never get to the gun before it is fired.
If a bullet is fired at 12:00 and you see the flash at 12:03 the light took 3 seconds to travel between you and the gun. If you traveled at the speed of light towards the gun at 12:00 you see the flash sooner but it is still fired at 12:00 if you start your journey at 12:01 you will still never get to the gun before it is fired. The gun is fired at 12:00 no matter how fast you are traveling or how soon you SEE the flash.
