If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is near it, does it make noise?

The answer is no. "Sound" is only sound if it is detected by the ear, or a replacement ear, such as a recording device. If there is nobody, or nothing around to hear the tree fall, then no "sound " is created... only a shockwave of moving air caused by the falling tree.

it said noise. And common sense says yes it does make noise.

@Screamin' Lord Byron well there are probably lots of animals around to hear it anyway, but you've got a good point.

it does make a noise though it can't be proven

yes it makes a noise but no one will here it if you're not there

every tree makes noise when it falls! Duh

I just learned about this in my psychology class and if no one is around to hear it there is no noise

He's tricking all of u it's a Paradox
