If a tree falls in a forest, and NOBODY is around to hear it... Does it make a sound?


Rate This Answer

It depends upon your definition of sound. If you define it as the vibration of matter, then yes, it does make a sound. ChaCha on!

That is quite a philosophical question! Some people think that the answer is yes and some people say no! ChaCha again.

No, a falling tree creates vibrations in the air not sounds. So there would only be a vibration and no sound. Have a ChaCha day!

If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody nearby, the sound that it makes is very different and often not recognized.
