Awful that this had to be pointed out, rly.

so does it make a noise or what, does anybody know the right answer.

STFU, thumarse.

Of course it makes a noise, as if the absence of any evidence whatsoever would stop me from making a definite assertion about an event :@ :@ :@

But it's not really about that, it's not a physics question, it's a famous Zen koan. It's something to think about and to meditate on.

How can you know anything that you do not directly experience.

Just realize, there is no spoon.

When I say 'a little green' I do, of course, mean that they're gullible enough to argue that this is a question worth mulling over.
There are some questions which we can certainly rely on experience to answer. This is one of them. The question makes no mention of vacuum. :)

A more pertinent question:
Why do people waste valuable internet time wondering if a falling tree makes no sound if there's no-one there?
