If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it fall does it still make a sound?

Answer 1

It does but as you said there's no one to hear it!

Answer 2

Yes, because it is the same motion that happens if there is someone to hear it, When this same thing happens, there is still sound if you were there, but as you were not, the sound went unheard. Hearing a sound doesn't make it a sound. The vibrations still happen, the vibrations don't stop and think,"ahh, theres no-one here to hear us, dont worry about it' Do they, Think About it.

Answer 3

No. The definition of "sound" is "that which is HEARD, resulting from stimulation of auditory nerves by vibrations (blah blah)." It may make sound waves, but if there is no one around to collect the vibrations, thus to HEAR the tree fall, then it cannot make a sound.

Answer 4

heard it. yeah, it still makes a sound, because if they're is a tree the same size, and it falls, and people are around to hear it. Its no different.

Answer 5

There will still be a disturbance in the force but it will not be felt. Except of course if there happens to be a bear doing #2 when the tree fell.

Answer 6

Yes, it still made the sound. But is you want to look at it in a different perspective:

Nothing exists until it is found.

Answer 7

Of course.
If a man makes a wrong turn in the woods and there is no woman to tell him he's wrong, is he?
of course :)

Answer 8

YES!!

it like asking: if you say something in an empty room, but no one is around to hear it, did you still speak?

Answer 9

Just like seeing your refrigerator light after the door is closed

Answer 10

only if it hits the bear thats cra&ping in the woods
