What is the bending of sound waves around a corner and the reason people can hear others talking around a corner?
Diffraction. You can hear people talking around the corner because Sound waves do not always travel in a straight line and sound waves spread out after passing throught a doorway. :)
Why can you hear a sound that is produced out of sight around the corner of a building?
Because sound can reflect and refract causing the many sound waves used to produce the noise to hit other objects such as buildings and walls and even air particles so you can hear the noise when you cannot see where it is coming from.
How can you hear a fire engine coming around the corner before you can see it?
Because of Sound Waves
Why you can hear a sound around a corner?
I suggest you play in the bathtub. Sound moves in the same way that waves move on the surface of the water. You will SEE how sound goes round corners.
Why can you hear two people talking even after they walk around a corner?
Diffraction allows sound waves to go around barriersYou can still hear people talking even though they go around the corner because the level of their voices are still in range of your range. This is because of refraction and reflection.

If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it does it still make a sound?
No because sound is something you hear and if nobody hears it, there is no sound.
Why can you hear someone but not see them from another room?
You can hear the people speaking because sound waves are reflected off of other objects (walls, trees, etc.). When the waves are reflected, they can still make it to your position and allow you to continue hearing the people as they walk. Sound waves bend around the corner.
Can you hear sounds around the corner of a door due to the wave property called diffraction?
Yes, you can. Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through air around corners. There is a "sonic shadow" cast by the structure or whatever it is that is making the corner, and the amount of sound energy that gets around the corner is lower than "not around the corner" as it were. By the fact that the listener is not in a direct line with the source, not as much sound energy arrives at the ear. But you can hear things around a corner, depending on the circumstances. It's a simple matter to conduct an experiment by standing in a recessed entry way and listening to sounds and then "sticking your head out" to sample the direct energy.
