Oh man a friend and I had this same discussion a while back(we were bored
okay)
I say it does make a sound despite the fact that no one is actually there to see
or hear it fall. I mean they have to make a sound since if it's the forest there
is going to always be something for it to land on rub against as it falls.

fell down in the forest and no one was around to hear it would it make a
sound?
Im not really sure, but I want to hear you think.
Obviously it would make a sound,especially since no one is in the forest. A
person does not need to be in the same forest as the tree to hear the voice. The
person meerly just has to be at the edge of the forest to here it, especially
since the tree in forests are of a extremely heavy mass and would make a
extrememly loud sound in which would echo through the forest since it is a wide
space with only trees.
What tree? How can you percieve something's existence without proof that it
does, in fact, exist? If you can prove to me that the tree you speak of does
exist, then I'd be inclined to say that if it falls (assuming that you know that it falls), then yes, it does make a
sound.
However, because no one percieves the tree, it does not exist. Unconcieved, the
tree is non-existent and sensations (such as hearing) cannot be caused by
something that isn't there.
Well, there's my answer - (part of) the same answer I wrote when asked the same
question during my philosophy final.
Yes, it still makes a sound. Besides it is nearly impossible for there to be
nothing able to hear it just because you didn't. The forrest is still full of
life that hears.

Simple answer
Yes, a sound that is not heard. *eat ya heart out*
i think yes. nobody has 2 hear anythin 4 somethin 2 make a sound.
do u understand.
yup just cause your not there doesn't mean the laws of physics isn't
You may not hear it, but it definitely makes a sound.
This question reminds me to the Schroedinger's Cat problem.

So yes, you would hear it fall.^_^

That's what I thought too.

yes it would make a sound but nobody would hear it.
