Re: if a tree
I've never understood if people are serious when they ask that question or if they're just dumb. Why the hell would it not make a noise? Does the tree take a look around first to see if someone's around, before falling, to see if it needs to be make a sound?

Re: if a tree
i think the whole debate is about whether our ears are needed to create the noise cuz its a sense (hearing, that is).. i dunno.
if there was a clear cut answer (notice the pun) then it obviously wouldnt be brought up for pointless discussion! so yes. just thought i'd contribute here.

Re: if a tree
If I remember correctly from Physics class, the answer is no. In order for something to be considered a sound, it must be received by something (our hears, microphone, etc). If it's not received by anything, it's not a sound.

Re: if a tree
Unless it's a tree that is our in the middle of no where, with no other trees around; there is a sound. Because... If there are numerous trees around 1 small area, there will be small creatures (such as the one silentchamber mentoned). These animals will hear the sound, so there is a sound. If you've ever seen a tree fall and there were birds around, they skatter like crazy before the tree hits the ground (creaks and crunches). So now someone will say "well they see the tree falling". Do you think they'd really be able to discipher between the tree creaking and falling, with similar signs that a strong wind would make? When you think about it, it'd be very unlikely that something wouldn't be around when it fell. And even if there wasn't, there are still sound waves created. Why wouldn't there be? Why would something have to be there for it to make a sound, it make absolutely no sense.

Re: if a tree
Our spy satelites would pick it up no matter where it was at, and who was around.
