If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it does it make a sound? O.O?

Since this question landed, unlike the timber you are referring to, in the adoption section, I take it it has a parabole, ie, if someone is adopted and nobody knows, apart from the birth and adopted parents, then will anyone ever know?
Yes. The child will sense that "something is not right".
The birth mother will suffer for her whole life.
The adopters will be happy, but deep down, they will have a guilty conscience.
Source(s): Heard timber falling many thousands of times in my childhood. You never forget the sound. Awesome, unique, a force of nature ripped apart.... - Tit for TatLv 61 decade ago
The real question is if a man is alone in the forest and a tree falls, and there is no woman around to hear it........does it make a sound?

well that depends if trees make a sound when they fall and someone is around to hear it if it makes a sound then than it will make a sound now (i hope this makes sense) (BTW crocker asked this to AJ and he freaked out then he asked him "What is the sound of one hand clapping") lol

yup...
ive seen/heard trees fall before. they all make noises when they fall. It is impossible that they would not make a noise. when any mass moves it changes the frequency in the air waves (like a pebble thrown in a still pond) hence creating a wave.... a sound wave....
