# It depends on your definition of 'sound',
whether sound is just molecules vibrating in certain ways, or whether it's the qualia of us perceiving those vibrations.

# I would say that vibrations in the air is sound
regardless of how they are perceived. Often this kind of question of the falling tree is coupled with the remark "We don't hear the wind unless it rustles through the leaves of a tree." but any movement of air makes a sound often too low a frequency for us to preceive.

# I agree.
But I'd use sound to describe the physical or mental processes, and this whole debate seems to depend on which definition you use.

# True but it's fun philosphising about stuff

# Well, that really depends on what you mean by 'stuff'.

# I think about life the universe and everything really
I'd like to know the answers, not just some philosophy but the truth of things. However I don't think there really is truth of things only subjective interpretations about these things - however there must be an undeniable truth of things but we will never know what is the objective truth of life.

# I'm sure there is a fundamental truth, but I'm sure we'll never know it for sure.
My basic strategy is to argue the opposite to the other guy, because it makes things more fun.
