text: if a tree falls in the woods and noone is around to hear it, does it still make a noise? obviously, there is an answer. there is a correct explanation of this occurance as well. i was just curious as to how many people who actually answer this inane dribble would be correct. good luck. not if noise is defined as vibartions hitting an eardrum.  if no one is around to read yahoo!answers, is it still inane dribble?
