No, it makes a vibration. A living organism needs to interpret the vibration into sound. If no one is around to hear it, there is nothing to translate the vibration into sound.

It nevertheless makes the sound. A tree and/or sound waves can not be sure if a human is recent to hearken to it. The birds and different animals can listen it. The sound waves a tree makes even as it falls are a lot distinct than radio waves. you don't desire a particular device to hearken to the sound waves of a tree falling.

As I have noted in previous answers to this question, that depends on your view of reality. If you have an objective view of reality, that it exists "out there" independent of an observer, then yes the falling tree makes a noise. If you have a subjective view of reality, that its existence is perceiver-contingent, then no the unheard tree doesn't make a sound.

Of course it does. Sound is not something we interpret. Sound is the physical vibration of particles. Hearing is the interpretation of sound (or particle vibration) into recognizable brain waves. Just becuase noone is there to interpret the vibrations, the sound is still created.

No one is hearing but you can record it, then sound doesn't depend on a witness to exist.

the sound waves are still created whether or not someone is there to hear it...if you're there the sound waves come in contact with your ear and your brain perceives it as sound...
