If a tree falls in a forest

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yes it makes a sound. You can just put a video camera and just let it record a tree falling to figure it out...

[quote=dooodnoo]yes it makes a sound, the animals can hear it. if there is nothing there to hear the sound,it still makes a sound because sound waves are produced[/quote]

From what I studied animals don't count when it comes to forest sounds when trees are falling.
Only humans.

@akAMAZING you are right. Now lets find a way and keep people indoors and away from windows

The molecules will still vibrate, but no sound will be produced because as others have mentioned there is no one to accept the vibrations.

But if you invented a time machine and stopped it from happening, wouldn't you have not gone back in time to prevent something that didn't happen?

I think sound is the vibration of air molecules.
So, yes.

But no one is around to hear the sound waves.
