Is it true that things don’t make sound if you can’t hear them?

Like, if Hiroshima happens again in Italy, but I’m in Madagascar then did it make a sound? That’s what one of my favorite YouTubers said while explaining how Gardevoir is able to make black holes. But even if that is true, then does that stay the same is someone else hears it? This is like saying something doesn’t exist if you can’t see it.

Guy: Hey, a new dinosaur was discovered, this time it had skin imprints

Dude: Well I’ve never seen a dinosaur so they aren’t real

This phrase is more about semantics/terminology, than literally claiming that the laws of physics change just because of an observer. (Or lack thereof)
I think the most famous one is 'If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?'
Now, obviously, yes - The tree still produces sound waves when it hits the ground. That's not what's being discussed.
What we're talking about, is that 'sound' is a term specifically referring to our senses. 'Sound' is what we hear, not... the physical phenomenon itself - without an ear to hear sound, there isn't any.

So that must mean that lions aren’t real because I can’t se them. Interesting

[CountessSarah]

You've completely missed the point.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I just don’t understand how something does t happen because you don’t hear it. It’s like saying Santa is real

[CountessSarah]

No!
It's about how we describe our senses, versus the physical phenomenons that our senses detect.

Another Gen Z pseudo-intellectual trying to convince the world of how smart she is. Sorry, but a tree does not produce sound waves, Einstein.

@bean2k21 Moron.

When you say it like that, it makes more sense. No need to be bunholes now

[Aurora1010]

That's silly. Of course it makes sound, and just because you would be in Madagascar and didn't hear it doesn't mean anything because those in Italy heard it.

The old "if a tree falls in the woods" story? Well, sound is caused by vibrations in the atmosphere that resonate inside your ear. Just because there are no ears to interpret the vibrations does not change the fact that the vibrations still exist.
So yes the tree does make a sound if nobody is there to hear it.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I new it.
