No. But the guy who wondered, "if there is one hand claping in the woods and there is no one there to hear it does it make a sound?" was a bit of a plagiarist.

Yeah, he was. Why wonder? Just close your hand really fast so your fingers slap against your palm. That's the sound.
Or if you do a normal clapping motion with one hand, the sound your hand makes is the whooshing sound of displaced air as your hand moves through it. You can hear it if you put your ear close to your moving hand.
(And the student was enlightened.)

It seems we're all agreed. He may have been nuts but he was also a little deaf also.

No, his name was Van Gogh, and he only had one ear.
Actually, maybe he was nutz, he cut off his own ear.
