I have actually heard a tree fall in the forest. So, whether we are there to witness it or not, it makes a noise.

It depends what you mean by "nobody".
Plants can hear (which is why people talk to their houseplants). Since they can hear, that means they are somebody.
If plants are somebody, then "nobody" would mean that there weren't any other trees around to hear it. If there are no other trees, then there is no forest, so then the question is moot.

Yes. Just because people aren't around doesn't mean silence. Objects make noise when they hit the ground ... especially a tree. Even if there were no critter ears to hear, the noise would be made.

If a tree falls in the forest and it hits a mime, does anybody care?

it still makes a sound ,its just not heard.in a oxygen less environment,no.I guess its like asking if a speaker preaches love to an audience of apathetic ,turn a blind eye and ear crowd,is his message well received,and the answer would be probably not

The answere is yes because the creatures around are bodies and would still be affected and air molecules displaced.

Hmm. test it out, hide behind another tree so the tree doesn't see you when it falls down.

If it would make a sound if someone was around, it would make a sound if no one was around.
