It does make a sound because the act of making a sound has nothing to do with the people around it because a sound wave would still move through the air. Regardless of who is present, it will make a sound.

Simple answer: Yes, it makes a sound regardless of who is present at the time.

Complicated answer: The tree falling and the sound it makes are cause and effect. Perception is independent of the event and the effects of the event. If an event happens, the effect happens; whether someone perceives it or not. It could be a long delayed perception biting our behinds like what we have now with global warming and icebergs melting. Does a pebble pitched in a pond produce ripples if no one's there but the blind man? Knowledge can only verify existence, Knowledge does not prove absence; except the absence of knowledge. So anyway, if we are to get scientific about it, then yes. But we will never know for %100 certainty

Of course it makes a sound. This question is not supposed to be a brain teaser or and exam question, it is about nature and the connection between nature and humans.

It is implying that "no one" includes humans and humans only. A gopher or a bird might have heard the tree fall, but saying that "no one" was there is implying that no one human was there to hear it.

This statment is saying that humans always exclude nature itself from our language and that human and nature are two different things.

Hope that helps!
