OMG--one of the oldest stupidest pop-philosophical inquiries around.
But the answer is really quite simple--No. When the tree falls it sets in vibration air--which the human ear detects and sends the sensation to the brain and it is called noise. If there is no one around to detect it there are still vibrating air molecules and waves--but no noise.

Yes it does, energy is given of in the form of sound energy as well as many other types, so yes there will be a noise even if there is no one around to hear it.

Yes. Your presence to hear it is irrelevant.
