No because sound is something you hear and if nobody hears it, there is no sound.

If a tree fell in the woods and nobody was around did it make a sound?
Yes it did, sound isn't contingent on whether or not someone is around to hear it. in response to the voice recorder answer. if you aren't there and you the tree falls there is no sound reciever, therefore no sound. by placing a recorder, leaving, and, having a tree by design or chance falling, the recorder is in fact representative to you being there, ahh- in absentia you were there therefore a noise. who heard the big bang-in a vacuum? Dunno go ask one. A physical entity does not need to be observed in order to exist. Existence defines itself. There is no need to treat this like a paradox. Philosophy is about coming to terms with existence while having limited knowledge. We try to make the most out of what we know, not descend into hyperbolic ramblings. Did things exist before there was man? Does man know of everything that exists? If two people heard the tree fall would it be twice as loud? If only Chinese heard it fall would it still be sound even though Chinese don't use the word "sound"? There's no prize for treating a simple question as an unresolvable paradox. And don't try to tell me butterflies in China has anything to do with chaos THEORY.
If a man speaks in a forest and there are no women around to hear is he still wrong?
Yes, because women don't have to be there to hear the man ,we already know what he's going to say before he says it. Yes, because the words and sound still came out of his mouth, even though no one could hear him.
If man talks in the forest and there is no woman around to hear it is he still wrong?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the answer is yes.
Deductively sound arguments are also deductively valid?
Yes, deductively sound arguments are also deductively valid. An argument is sound if and only if all of the premises are true (with respect to all cases of semantics) and the premises certainly prove the conclusion, which then must also be true. An example of a valid, but not sound argument: Everyone who lives on Mars is a martian I live on Mars Therefore I am a martian An example of a sound argument (which then must also be valid): All rodents are mammals A rat is a rodent Therefore a rat is a rodent Recall that semantics are important and must be considered for an argument to sound and valid. Consider the following example: Everyone from London is from England Person A is from London Therefore person A is from England For the sake of this example, assume person A is indeed from London. This still does not mean that this argument is sound, or even valid. There are many places named London that are not in England (eg. London, Ontario, Canada). Thus, the argument is not sound and is invalid.

If a tree falls in the middle of the Amazon with no one around does it still make a sound?
What do you think
When a tree falls and no one is around does it still make a sound?
Yes of course, but your probably referring to "If a tree falls and nobody's around to hear it, does it make a sound" Well nobody can ever know for absolute certainty, but if we get scientific about it, then yes. Nobody has to be around to hear the noise it makes. It will make a sound, it won't just fall and be silent, it has to make a sound. Regardless of the fact that someone was there or not.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it still make noise?
Actaully this is a trick question the real answer is how do you know nobody is there to hear it. no it is not a trick question--- it is searching for the defionation of sound and not the reception of it other people also say either yes or no. yes:because when a tree falls vibrations are created and either if someone is around to hear it or not it will still make a noise. no:because even though a tree makes vibrations if no one is around to hear it but how do we know for sure it makes a knows.... if someone were to test this it would be incredible.
If a democrat is speaking in a forest and nobody is around is he still wrong?
And lost.
Does a sound have to be heard to be a sound?
Tough one. You're asking: Is the sound the vibrations in the material medium, or is the soundthe sensation in the brain of a person or animal ?I'm an engineer, and here's my personal opinion: To me, the sound is the vibration in the material medium,and it doesn't care whether or not there's anybody there to hear it.So when a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, yes, it still makes a sound anyway.And when a man speaks in the forest and there's no woman there to hear him, yes, he's still wrong anyway.
