Seriously, how the hell is that a brain teaser?

It's going to make a sound, even if no one is around... to say it doesn't make noise is pure stupid...

Actually, a "sound" is the ability to appreciate certain frequencies(vibrations) of compression and expansion of air.

For instance, a falling tree creates a frequency that your ear translates into "sound".

But, similarilarly when J2 mistakes the umbilical cord for a johnson during an ultrasound exam and starts babbling "chip off the ole block" and such, the transducer is creating vibrations that are beyond our ears ability to appreciate them. I guess that is why they call it ULTRA sound.

So yes, a wave of perceptible frequency to humans is emitted when a tree falls in the woods, but a "sound" is only heard by any being in the area able to perceive that frequency.

A deaf person would say that it makes no sound.

Do radiowaves make a sound? Only if we have a receiver able to pick them up and change the frequency into one we can appreciate. We are radio frequency deaf.
