If a tree falls in the middle of the forest, will it make noise?

“Did you hear that?” “No”

If a tree falls in the middle of the forest, and no one is there to hear it, will it make sound? Will it make noise?

The tree does NOT make noise. Noise is something that was created by humans. If a tree fell and no one was there to hear it, that means that it made no noise because there was no one there to hear if there was a noise. Others will say that noise is something that exists no matter what, but is it really? If a person cannot hear it, and if they have not discovered it yet, then the people do not consider it a noise or a sound. Noise is something that is heard. But if no one was there to HEAR the noise, then that means that noise could not have been there. This thing called noise was made by man, and if man wasn’t there to hear, there was no noise.
Let us say that there really was a man who happened to hear the tree fall. The only reason why that sound is considered noise was because the noise made a sound in which the man probably heard. Because the man was there to hear the tree falling to the ground, it was considered a noise, since there was a man there to hear it. His presence there has made a tree falling make noise. If there was no person there, that means that there was no action of hearing being done.

Some say that they know that the falling tree would make noise because they believe that noise exists no matter if there was someone to hear it or not. However, how would they know if they themselves were not there to hear it?

Although at first, this may seem like a very simple question, it is not. Many people would reply yes, because they have learned from basic knowledge that when trees fall, they make noise. However, how about the people in the city, where they do not even see many trees? How would they know that a tree makes noise? They just simply heard that a tree makes noises, and such. And once they saw one tree making noise in a video, they conclude that all trees make noise when they fall. Also, how do we know if we could truly trust our ears to hear the right things? What if there was no sound and we were just imagining these sounds?

At first, I, too, believed that a tree would make noise. But as I started to think more into details, I noticed that a tree would not make noise. If people are not there to hear it, or if no one is there to hear it, then it did not make noise, because no one was able to hear it. To me, noise is something that is there for a person or other living thing to hear, but if it was not heard by anyone or anything, then it must have not made noise.
