Yes it did, sound isn't contingent on whether or not someone is around to hear it. in response to the voice recorder answer. if you aren't there and you the tree falls there is no sound reciever, therefore no sound. by placing a recorder, leaving, and, having a tree by design or chance falling, the recorder is in fact representative to you being there, ahh- in absentia you were there therefore a noise. who heard the big bang-in a vacuum?
Dunno go ask one.
