If a tree in the forest falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

It doesn’t matter whether anyone is around to hear it or not....KABOOM!! 😂
Why wouldn’t it??

Yes sound waves are produced regardless of if anything receives them

@Goralski And you are not allowed to see if any trees have fallen

@TripHazard How does that make me spastic? Hm?

You people are taking yourselves too seriously. If you’re wasting time proving you’re existence, it means your doubtful. If you were certain, you wouldn’t bother.

No, because sound is something you hear for it to be considered a "sound".
nedkelly · 61-69, M
NO as how do we know the tree feel in the first place, as someone would have had to witness the tree falling

@nedkelly was said, “if a tree falls” not “if a tree doesn’t fall”can anyone hear it.

This original source of this question was probably an Sociopath professor telling people “if they were not there to see me kill Someone, then Did I really kill them?” Therefore, I am innocent. Arghhhh

@Mindful How do we know a tree falls?
Mindful · 56-60, F
WE see the evidence on the ground. Fallen tree.

I think yes, it makes noise. We aren't the center of the universe, so things happens even when we can't notice it

if by sound you mean variable pressure waves in air ,, yes

if to be a sound it hs to have a hearer?? well do bugs and squirrels count?
No as the sound could only be heard if there’s someone to hear it

Yes. Sound waves exist regardless of audiences.
Tukudo · 41-45, M
Yes! Whether we do hear or not,the sound happens...

@KingLionHeart Does it matter that you answered the question? Does it matter you clicked on this question? Does it matter you read this question? Does it matter you thought about replying to this question?

IF it’s moving thru the air, yes.
