If a tree falls and there is nobody to hear it, does it still make a noise?

Answer 1

Actually, no.
Noise is a human (or animal) sensing vibrations in the air. If there are no sensory organs to detect the vibrations, they are just motion. It takes an animal (or human) to make it a "noise."
Got it?
See, if there are no eyes, then there is no "light" ... only radiation of a particular wavelength.
If there are no noses, there are no smells, only chemicals suspended in the air.
Noise (that is, sound) only exists when someone "hears" it.
Sound and sight and smell and touch and taste are all the result of some being sensing the things in the world. Without us, they may still be loaded with chemicals, bathed in radiation, and vibrating their hearts out, but the trees would not smell, be seen or make any noise at all, at all.
Don't you feel special now?

Answer 2

of course it makes a noise, there is just nobody there to hear it. The noise is created by the vibrations caused by the tree falling to the ground. It is similar to asking whether or not a dog whistle makes noise....the fact that the frequency at which the sound is emmitted is outside the range of human hearing does not matter, there must still be a noise or the dog would not respond.



If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there, can you really say a tree fell in the forest?

Answer 3

yes there still will be noise as noise is formed due to the vibrations of particles and therefore if the tree falls and hits the ground it'll sure cos vibrattions in the molecular level hence noise will be produced

Answer 4

Yes cause every tree that falls make a noise.

Answer 5

Yes, it still makes a noise. It does not take humans being around for it to make the noise that it does.

Answer 6

Yes
To make a point.
Take e-mail for example. When you login to e-mail, you may not have heard the notification (if you have such items enabled) of an arriving e-mail. However, the e-mail arrived and the notification process still was completed.
In nature sound cannot be turned off, action and reaction. The sound happens weather a person is there to witness it or not.

Answer 7

certain, it does. For, the in hardship-free words occassions below which it makes no sound in any respect, are at the same time as there is not any medium to connection with this sound. it is of route no longer accessible for trees favor soil and air to make stronger. Thereby, any tree will make noise at the same time as it falls. note that I have in basic terms suggested the area of this tree for problems with route nevertheless make noise in spite of wether anybody hears them. Take this social gathering: infared mild is everywhere at the same time as no human can see it. this question is in conserving with a foul philosophy using 18th century fools. they could declare the tree makes no sound by way of their foltering common sense, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is fake regardlessly.

Answer 8

Absolutely.
Furthermore, it has been proven
that every single sound emitted,
no matter
how low or high
travels indefinitely
in the universe. Some even
theorize that some day one
may be able to piece sounds
together, i.e. conversations.....
Can you imagine that?
And with voice recognition
being almost 100% accurate,
oops, what a mess that would be.....
Stay well!

Answer 9

I think if know ones around and they can't hear it it still can make a noise.

Answer 10

No, it doesnt. It makes sound waves, but not a sound.

Sound is the "noise" after being processed by the brain. No listener=no brain processing it= no sound, just sound waves.
