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

In physics, yes. In physiology, no.

Is the 'glass half full/half empty' conundrum coming next?
 
Does an extinguished candle care about the darkness?

What song/ singer was that line from.....no peeking.
 
Well if all sentient life was temporarily suspended but we left a dictophone running, then when we came back we would have evidence of the noise the tree made as it fell.

This isn't how you answer this question though. Think it's meant to be deeper than that.

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

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.
