    Yes.  Sound is not an element that only manifests for an ear drum.

    SOUND is SOUND.

    It is vibration and whether someone is around to notice, it still is vibration.

    Yes, the bear that was dumping made a noise when the tree fell on him.

    Yes, it does.

    But, it fails to communicate.

    Communication requires not only a sender, but also a receiver.
