does it make a sound? what do you guys think "If a tree falls and no animal is present to hear it, is there a sound? The fall cerainly produces pressure waves in the air, but if he sound is defined as a perception, then there is none unless an animal senses the waves and its brain perceives them." CH 50 of the AP Bio book. thought'd I'd share that LOL.

If a tree falls on a baby, and no one is around to hear it, is it still funny?

Sound is defined as the brain's interpretation of the vibrations in the air that are harnessed by the ear (or some similar sensory organ), so if there is no brain around to interpret it, then there is no sound.

Do you have proof it made a sound? Exactly. It made no sound. It could have landed on a magical giant pillow for all you know...
