They are, they sag, er, migrate south with age.



As to the original post; sound is how an ear interprets the vibrations in the surrounding environment.  The tree doesn't make a sound, but it will create vibrations in the air and ground.  If nobody is there to "hear" it, then the answer should be no.

A tree fell in the woods and nobody was not around.  Dose it make any sounds? 

If a man speaks, and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

This is true, It should. The problem here is that one can not provide evidence, as there is no suitable experiment.

Thats a lie you put a camera watching it and when one randomly falls it records the noise when no one is around to hear it.

I agree that the tree technically does not make the sound, however the sound vibrations that it creates are still there therefore the sound exists.

No, it does not make a sound.  It does compress the air which are interpreted as sound only if someone or something is there to hear it.

Now if a bear is there, and near the tree as it falls, it would hear it.

..and likely crap in the woods. :x

There is a old saying by a Native American tribe in the northwest.  If a needle falls off the tree, the bear will smell it, the deer would hear it and the eagle would see it.
