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

Because people have heard trees fall in the woods so it has to make a noise the rest of the time!
sound=vibrations of particles.......so see it is!!!!!!

if a tree fell down in the woods and nobody was there to hear it, then nobody saw it either, so how do you know if it really fell down ?

Only willow trees. Most trees fall and they make a huge crash but willows just kind of droop over and lay down.

It made a sound, but no one was there to acknowledge the actual event. They only see the aftermath - the fallen tree.

For an event or an experience to occur, there should not only be the event, but also some one who witnessed or experienced it. It is as good as not happening if it does not reach home.

that's a very old question you know. Yes it makes the same sound. If you snore at night and no one is beside you, do you make a sound?

Of course it will, I cant believe this has never been resolved. Just leave a tape recorder by the tree ... a tape recorder is no-one right?
