    If a tree falls in the woods and no ones there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

    Close, only half of them do.
    If it wasn't for this sentence I wouldn't have a signature at all.

    If a man ...

    If a man says something and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Over a period of about a century, I think a lot of time was wasted on the original question by philosophers who should have spent the time on more important issues.

    It was finally decided that it was a definiton or semantics problem.

    If sound is defined as a perceptual process, there is no sound when there is no creature to hear it.

    If sound is defined as a physical process (molecular motion, compression waves, et cetera), then there is sound without a listener.
