Me too.

Space magic?

There's no air to get in the way of the sound waves.

Again space magic.
Of if you'd rather prefer, each of the Alice/Sedna/Church weapons come with an internalised communication ability. Perhaps quantum communication. Or even some version of free-space optical communication.
Or we're simply see a variant of Clarke's Third Law - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Technology on Earth before and in space after the Blink had advanced to such a stage that we literally cannot distinguish where technology ended and magic began. Simply because there is no hard line between the two in the world of Alice Grove.
cesium133:
He can blow air at such high pressures that it can be heard even in the vacuum of space (as long as you're within a couple inches). Also, his breath is horrible (it's hard to brush your teeth when you're locked in magma).

Same reason Shadow vessels screech through space.

The Shadows were an explicitly telepathic race (major plot point being Shadow attempts to co-opt younger race's telepaths a la Psi Corps). The screech was heard in the heads of anyone in the vicinity of one of their vessels. (Creepy explanation: the larger Shadow vessels used a trapped person as an OS. The screech could be the unending screams of psychic pain in the mind of the person being so used.)
Possible the AG Immortals have some sort of telepathic link. This might explain how Alice was able to recognize Church millennia later in an unfamiliar body.
Method of Madness:
She got knocked down towards the Praeses, which may have sufficient atmosphere to allow sound?
