Thanks, guys.
There are many "mini" redwood forests in California- but I usually stop at those in the north, starting with Richardson Grove and running almost to the Oregon border. My favorites are along Old Highway 101 because all through traffic is taking the bypass freeway and those groves are very quiet.
This shot was taken in one of those groves along the old highway.
About the conundrum: I'm just having some fun with it, of course; I won't go to the mat in defense of my statement .
But briefly, here is my defense:
When a tree falls, it sends vibrations through the air (and through the ground).
When a "listening device," i.e. recorder, regular animal or human animal hears it, we call the vibrations "sound." (Wild animals call it "Unnhhh?" )
Forgetting about recording devices and animals for the moment- if there are no people around the vibrations remain as just vibrations- with nothing to convert them into sound.
Hence the answer to the question is "No."
Again- just having some fun .

I lived in Santa Cruz, CA 20+ years. Lots of Redwood trees. In fact, I had a rock and roll band named Redwood (1973-78). I'm in the picture . I heard the tree fall.
