Yes. If a husband says something and no wife is close enough to hear him, should he assume he is wrong?

YES!--- but it's not quite what you might think.
Scientists have been dealing with the problem of natural tree falls (and the sound they make--or don't make) for quite some time and have drawn some rather surprising conclusions.
If a tree falls and there is a person around the sound is easily recognized.
If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody nearby, the sound that it makes is very different and often not recognized as the sound of a tree falling.
Either way, there is a sound.
Even though plants do not show any changes to the naked (or lensed) eye, when a human is in their presence systemic biological changes have been discovered that have grave effects on plant life when a person is within 300 meters. This effect is called "human stress syndrome".
Apparently, when a tree is about to fall, if it senses a human nearby the biological stresses of human presence cause the cell walls in the plant to become brittle and it is the cell brittleness responsible for the familiar sound we know as that of a tree fall. The cell brittleness also has significant effects to the quality of the lumber, making it much more suitable for use in construction
Through the miracle of recording tape, we are able to provide a sound recording of an actual tree falling without human presence.

Sound is only sound if a person hears it....If the tree falls it may make a sound wave...but unless someone is around to hear it...No it doesnt make a sound...plus if ur not around to see it or hear the tree fall....Do you really care?

It makes sound waves but in order for a sound to occur there needs to be an ear to interact with those sound waves, so no.
Wikipedia has a good explanation of why it does not make a noise:

Yes. Physics 101.
Sound is actually a physical wave that propagates. It will propagate whether or not you actually are around to hear it.

Yes they do. It sounds like it is being sucked out of the earth.
