In reference to the transporter: There are several Star Trek episodes in which
the transporter is used to transport to or from enclosed areas on planets,
deep within planets, to or from other ships, and within the Enterprise.
In all of these cases the transporting done is evidently not line-of-sight.

Sounds in hanger bay: It is perfectly conceivable that within the ship near
the hanger bay that one would be able to hear the motors operating the bay
doors running, and as mentioned previously, that we are hearing Sulu's voice
echoing throughout the ship. If you really want to talk about sounds in
vacuums, there is the classic example in every episode: the Enterprise swishes
by several times during the opening, making a noise like it is traveling
throught air, when we are supposed to believe that it is traveling in the
'vacuum' of space.
