get out of that thought right now.
Sound was born when everything else was
born. Sound is the reaction of energy.
The transfer of energy, more precisely.
The tree falls, there is gravitation potential energy.,
When it lands, kinetic energy. The transfer makes a
big sound, and also has damage done to the surface.
No matter if there is 200 people there, or none,
it makes a god damn sound.
To the contrary, nothing exists unless it's being measured by something. Yay quantum physics. So, if you aren't there to hear it, and nothing else is there to measure it (e.g. other animals, whatever), then it does every possible thing, including not make a sound.
