Perhaps we can explicitly state the answer that was apparently being sought, thereby giving the poster what he sought and also exposing it to anyone who might not get it like everyone here obviously does, and then CLOSE this annoying little thread.
The philosophical answer arrived at sometime in the Dark Ages (probably St. Augustine or someone of the sort):
Yes, it makes a sound, 'cuz God heared it.
And in response to another thread, “Why feed trolls?” - because saying the monster’s True Name robs it of its power.
The answer to the OP as stated, of course, it depends on whether you use the objective or subjective definition of the word ‘sound’. A decent dictionary gives both. Not even Physics 101 is required.
But what I wanna know is, when a space probe falls into Mars, do Martians throw it back. . .or do the taxpayers throw out another ball?
Also, when a thread gets totally unraveled, does it wear Nickrz?
When a tree falls into the La Brea Tar Pits, does its hugger get preserved?

On the old TV show “Cheers” the bartender Coach said, “Well, if no one was there, how do you know the tree fell? Maybe some beavers set it down there.”
