      Right. It doesn’t make a sound. It vibrates the air. Your ears interpret those vibrations as sound. They move through the air in a wave like pattern originating from the source.

        Are you earnestly saying sound only exists if someone hears it?

        A sound, also known as “air vibrations” to some, exists independently of a listener. It does not “become sound” only if someone hears it.

          This is wading into philosophical areas but think about this. We defined what sound is and if there are no biological creatures around to hear a sound or interpret its vibrations, than no there wasn’t a sound. Something fell, a reaction occurred and without an observer there is no sound since there was nothing there when the event occurred.

          Also I’m reading more into this and reforming my opinions based on new information so this is an evolving position for me.

            This isn’t philosophy, It’s wankery.

            Sound is a matter of Newtonian physics, which do not in any way care about linguistics or perception.

            The universe is not so concerned with our perspective that it changes itself to suit us.
