If a tree falls in the forest,

And there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Answer #1

I know this might be mean, but I guess there is not stupid question, just stupid people that ask them. You don’t make a difference if your there or not, there is still vibrations and that means theres still sounds.

Answer #2

yes as a simple fact it will always make a sound if your there or not

Answer #3

Hate to field this one so literally, but this is an exercise in solipsism. You can never know if it makes a sound… knowing means experiencing… One can theorize that it would. You live in a subjective universe… particular to you… cogito ergo sum.

Answer #4

it still makes a sound, humans are not the center or the universe, we may be the most evovled, but we are far from the most important

Answer #5

no! but if your up on it when it falls! you scream like a banshee!!!

Answer #6

Yes, it does! You’re just not there to hear it.

Answer #7

duh- just because you don’t hear the noise doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Answer #8

lol I never got why this question is supposed to be rhetorical … of course it still makes a sound.

Answer #9

Can’t tell ya. . . It’s a secret.

Answer #10

do you think a tree will make a sound if you’re there?… course it will right?… so wheather you’re there or not, it’ll make a sound!
