If everyone in the world was deaf, and the tree fell, it would still make a sound, but we just can't hear. \n\nA dog can hear things humans can't, but it doesn't mean those sounds don't exist.

If the tree is dead and the branches are falling off and the person could have expected that the tree would fall then they are responsible for the damage, otherwise they are not responsible.

You have it all wrong.....\n\nThe ninja wouldnt fall, the ground would rise to meet him, and when it did the ninja would choose whether to permit the ground to make a noise.

The old "If a tree fell in the forest, and there was nobody around to hear it, does it make a noise?" conundrum.  It depends on what you define as "a noise":\n\nIf you define "noise" as the creation and propagation of compression waves in the air at a variety of frequencies, then YES, the falling tree makes a noise.  A deaf person, who is incapable of hearing noises, would still feel the vibrations produced, as would any one of a variety of noise measuring devices.\n\nIf you define noise as the impingement of those compression waves on the human ear, with the resulting conversion into nerve impulses that stimulate certain specific portions of the human brain that we associate with "sound" or "noise", then NO, it does not make a sound, becuase there is no human ear present.\n\nSo, my final answer:  Yes, a tree falling in the forest makes a noise.  Doesn't matter if there's anyone or anything around to hear it.

Yap, it makes a sound although no one can hear it unless they live nearby.

The answer to this depends on if you are a physicist or a biologist! A physicist would say "yes" because to him/her sound is vibration of air molecules which will occur when a tree falls. \n\nA biologist, however would say "no" because sound is a perception in the brains of living things capable of perceiving it. The perception is a brain's interpretation of the nerve signals sent to it as a result of vibrations causing the eardrum to vibrate, then the ossicles in the middle ear, then the fluid in the cochlea, then the hair cells etc. There is no sound until a brain perceives it, only vibrating air.\n\nEven if the vibrations are recorded, there is still no sound until the recording is played and heard/interpreted by a capable brain.

Thay sway in the wind,\nTheir leaves touch the ground,\nFrom fallen branches,\nAnd rustling sound.\n\nFrom green they turn,\nTo red & gold hues,\nIn autumn & winter,\nThey know their cue.\n\nTil spring returns,\nThe trees remain bare,\nAs all round green trees,\nAre somehow quite rare.\n\n................................................................\n\nIts all I could do in such a short time, sorry if its a bit naff!

How do you define sound? The tree falling in the forest creates a pressure wave that would be heard by a listener as a sound. Does your defintion require a listener? The pressure wave exists whether or not there is one.  Merriam-Webster defines sound as:\n\n1 a : a particular auditory impression : TONE b : the sensation perceived by the sense of hearing c : mechanical radiant energy that is transmitted by longitudinal pressure waves in a material medium (as air) and is the objective cause of hearing

There is thunder, you just are too far away to hear it. Now here's one for you; if a tree falls in the forest....

I've done it, and i'm still a free man.....so apparently not.\n\n(Unless it's somebody ELSE'S tree. That would likely be illegal.)

No!Because you can not tell . how if there would be nobody nobody could near the noise!

If a tree falls in the forest when nobody is there, . . . does it make any noise? This is a complicated question, that seems simple. It makes a sound, which may or not be noise. Noise is sound that is unorganized, it requiers the presence of someone to make that determination. The same thing holds true for you, when you have somthing to say. In order to get someone to listen to you, someone has to be there listening. While you can't make anybody take the time to listen, there are things that will better your efforts at being heard. When a comic gets up to tell jokes, not everyone laughs. At times everybody laughs, and then there is the joke that dosen't get any response at all. You can take a few lessons from the comic. No, not about telling jokes, but rather about delivery. He has managed to speak to a wide audience. When you speak to large groups, your words will find some willing ears.\nMatt.
