ao's comrade | A simple yet complex question.... Ok i was asked this ealier today, and it both interested and confused me and i couldnt find an answer and i dont know weather its been done before or not but i looked for it and couldnt find it so here we go! (its actually rather debatable) If a tree falls in the woods and nobody was around to here it does it still make a sound? something to think about eh?

ao's comrade | Re: A simple yet complex question.... yeah but if like a sound is just vibrations in the air right? and a human ear is used to turn those vibrations into sound if theres no hume/animal ears around then the vibrations cannot become a sound so i think no theres no sound made but there is still loads more theories and questions.

![]() ![]() Credits: 27,121 | Re: A simple yet complex question.... I agree that the answer is yes, Sound is the vibration of matter, capable of being perceived by the sense of hearing. This does not mean it needs to be heard but rather could be heard. Even if the tree does not make an "audible" sound detectable by human ear does not mean it did not make a sound as long as matter was vibrated (hence the tree falling would produce this) and that "sound" is capable of being heard by something that can hear in that frequency.
