What would the earth look like, sound like, would there be an earth at all, just like the old story, if no one sees a tree fall down in the forest, it really didn't fall down.

The best way to get an idea of what this would be like is to witness a solar eclipse. In the area of not quite totality, you get a twiglight zone. It gets very chilly, the wind dies down, and all the birds and animals fall silent as if asleep. A very eerie and creepy experience.
As for the point about if no-one witnessed the event, did it really happen? - this is a tricky question best posted under "philosophy" rather than earth sciences!

Thats like asking, if a tree fell in the woods and no one was around to hear it, would it make a noise?? Or, does a wild bear poopoo in the woods?? Or, if the chicken hadn't crossed the road, he wouldn't have got ran over. Or, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Etc Etc. Or, the Chinese proverb, if woman fly in airplane upside down, will she have crack up.??

It would mean, that the Earth is not spinning on its axis, orbiting around the sun. That is how we have night and day, at various times in different countries.

there would be a lot of snoring followed by one hell of a racket when all the alarm clocks go off and the birds start to sing.
Tune into big brother then scale it up.

It would be very quiet, and then I could get some work done.
