Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.

If a tree fell in the wild and no one saw it would you it make a sound?
If a tree falls but nobody is around to hear it, the tree will not make a sound. It will make sound waves, but it isn't sound unless somebody is around to transfer the waves into actual sound.
Which philosopher wrote if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?
yes if a tree does fall in a forest it does make a sound because it is not a vacuum (where few or no particles are ; space) the air around it has matter and a medium so the compressions and rarefactions travel through a medium and create sound waves and the tree vibrates so the answer is yes if a tree falls in a forest it does make a sound.
If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it does it make sound partiles that travel at high speed causing the sound to vibrate in your ear?
Yeah, but I wouldn't say high speed. It depends on the size and weight of the tree in order to travel quickly. Also, you must be in the radius of where the tree falls.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it does it still make a sound?
Yes because sound waves exist even if people aren't in the area.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound What is ONE possible argument someone would make to agree OR disagree that a sound is indeed made?
No, because a tree falls in the middle of the woods and there is no one around to hear it, so it can't make a sound! A sound is something you hear. It would make a noise.yes it does make a sound because if something falls it gives off sound waves. the sound waves move out further and further, but the sound waves stop after a while. just because you cant hear doesnt mean its not there......its like yelling at someone who is deaf with someone right beside you. the deaf person cant hear you but the person that's not deaf can hear you because your voice gives off sound waves!
What kind of wave is created if a tree falls in a forest?
A sound wave ... Although if the tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? :))
Does someone or something have to hear a sound for that something to have made a sound Example if a tree falls when no one is present to hear it does it make a sound?
No. It is an old riddle. And yes, a tree does make a sound when it falls.
If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it does anybody hear it?
Well of course he is. An entire forest can fall and men will still be wrong.Yes we would be........Damned if we tell the truth, and damned if we don't. Either way, we're up a tree.Maybe that's why the tree fell? And the moral of that is.....if men would keep their feet planted firmly on the ground, they wouldn't have to be "up a tree".
What is the equation for a sound wave?
I am not averse to answering questions that are way too difficult, especially if they are as clearly asked as this one is. Unfortunately, there is no well defined equation for a sound wave that I can relate to you, because sound waves are extremely complicated. To be honest, electromagnetic waves like light are easier to describe physically. Sound waves by their very nature travel through media like air, water, metal, or walls. By contrast, light is blocked by walls that sound can penetrate. Sound waves are basically vibrations in air (or other media) that our ears can detect. The physics of the waves themselves, like how they're propagated, whether they resonate, at what frequency, for what duration -- these are things that cannot be summed in a single equation. I will answer the underlying philosophical point, however: If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? No, it doesn't. The sound of the tree falling is the signal and your ear is the receiver. No receiver, no sound. But it does create sound that you could hear, if you were there. (Of course, this is complicated by the fact that it may make a sound for deer or birds nearby...)
If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to haul it away what happens to it?
it depends, if you are talking about hearing it as the emission of sound waves then yes. a tree falling in a forest would make a sound but if you are talking about perception, there is no person to hear the sound. so the tree makes a sound but nobody hears it
When a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to here it does it make a sound?
no.
What conductors are found in a tree?
tree sap, since it makes a radiative sound of electro-magnetic waves.
