Depends on your definition of sound. If your definition of sound is people hearing it, then no. But if your definition of sound is vibrating molecules, then yes, it does make a sound. Of course, since sound is just vibrating molecules, that are interpreted by our brain, then no, sound can't exist without someone or something to hear it. Is there a squirrel in the tree, cuz I bet he'd hear if it fell.

This is an age old philosophy question on the same line as: is this reality or are we just a figment of someone's imagination?
These types of questions are asked to get you to learn to use your brain, think for yourself, and not be a "sheep."

I got in an argument with my ex about this. I thought it did, he thought it didn't. Your guess is as good as mine, dude.
