Tree

so yes, the question is pretty much asking if it makes a vibration

But there is nothing to pick up those vibrations, therefore not making it a sound. The definition says that "vibrations that CAN BE HEARD WHEN THEY REACH A PERSON'S OR ANIMAL'S EAR

so if it does not reach a organism's ear, it is not a sound

Alright, there wouldn’t be sound in the perceptual sense, BUT there would be a physical event, vibrations in the air and ground.

Falling tree exerts force on the ground and pushes through the air. By Newton’s laws, this force creates pressure waves, mechanical vibrations, in both air and earth. These vibrations occur independently of observation, making the event physically real whether or not anyone is present to hear it.

hence concluding that if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, it doesn't make a sound

Yes, but then it would just be vibrations through the air, and this is not sound

vibrations that travel through the air or another medium AND can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear."

it does make a sound even if nobody hears it imo

no bruh

my guy, a camera is an instrument that perceives sight, not sound

u right on that too yeah it dosent require a human or something that has life to hear it for ti to make the sound

unless it also records audio, which is what I'm assuming you're saying

But then when you watch the recording, you are an organism that is perceiving the soundwaves

and as I said, there can be no one near the tree falling
