no it does not make a noise, a noise is an unwanted sound, if it can not be heard then it is not unwanted, however it does make a sound. sound is a form of energy thus hen the tree's gravitational potential energy it converted into kinetic energy during the falling motion, as it hits the ground its energy will be partially transferred into the earth and partially into the particles in the air thus creating sound waves

Why don't aereoplanes make noise at night?
If a tree falls in the forest, does it make sound? Of course planes make noise at night. But if you are fast asleep, or otherwise not attending to the sound, then they seem not to be there.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it does it still make a noise?
Although this question is often restated as "If Helen Keller fell over in a forest would there be any noise?" the answer stays the same. A noise does not depend on the perception by a sentient hearer. Examining the question, there are three conditions setting the scenario:A tree falls: It is presumed that the tree falls through other trees branches and strikes the ground in a manner that makes a satisfying "Crash and Thunk!" all of which activities generate sound waves and or vibrations. This is technically a sound or colloquially a noise.in the woods: This is an ecosystem filled with receptors some definitely sentient (humans) and some of debatable levels of sentience (deer, raccoons etc.) all of which have the capacity of hearingand nobody is there to hear it: fully sentient beings, humans, are excluded but animals are not excludedand a questiondoes it still make a noiseThe answer is that, in physics, the creation of sound waves in a medium constitutes making a noise. In the smaller definition that a noise can only be present if sound is heard, the question only postulates the absence of sentient (human) receptors. The existence of hearing animals in a forest environment would be anticipated. Therefor the sound would have been heard and even under the more limited definition there would have been a noise.
If a tree drops down in the middle of the forest and nobody is around to hear it does it make noise for someone to hear?
yes but you cant hear it i agree with this because the animals are still going to run away.
If a leaf falls in the forest and no one hears it does it make a sound?
Yes, the leaf would still create sound waves as it falls, regardless of whether there is someone present to hear it or not. Sound is a physical phenomenon that occurs when an object vibrates in a medium like air.
