If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there

Does the fridge light really go off when you close the door?

The definition of a sound is the interaction of an air pressure fluctuation with a sensor that detects that fluctuation (e.g an ear). If no sensor is present, there is no sound.

It's a pressure wave that will be felt by everything it interacts with. Including the millions of living creatures in the area.

How far away is the forest?

No noise, he means Nottingham Forest, they've been in free fall for years.

In The Midlands No One Can Hear You Scream

So a psychologist may argue that there was no sound but I'm more interested in physics.

What about the sound waves interacting with other trees and causing vibrations? According to the Dr Cox fella, the movement of one atom effects all the other atoms in the universe so a bloody big tree falling will interact with the rest of the forest.

Which begs a different question.

If a bluemooner is knocking one off...........

A United fan somewhere, somehow, is sucking sperm in through his urethra?

Sound is only heard through the ear drum so they'd be no noise

Does it still make a sound?
All I can think of interdependence between the voices of nature and or own cognitive responses

You don't half start some weird threads.
