I think you'll find that when most things fall, sound waves are created. Therefore it does make a sound regardless of if anyone hears it.
How do you that it makes a sound if you not there to witness it.
I know that it makes a sound because I don't have any reason to believe that Physics principles don't apply whenever I turn my back.
If you throw a rock off a cliff, and then walk away, how do you know it'll hit the bottom? because physics says that unless there's a good reason not to, the rock will be affected by gravity and will keep falling until it hits something (the ground).
Similar reasoning explains that SOUND itself has nothing to do with the presence of a human, but in order for it to be HEARD, there must be someone nearby.
If a deaf guy stands next to a big enough tree that falls over, he will feel the force of the sound waves on his body (hypothetical situation), even though he can't hear them.
