Q4 should be; yes, it makes a sound. It creates sound waves which could be heard by any sensor capable of recognising sound waves. The philosophical BS is created by nit-picking people who seem to believe that sound only exists if it is actually heard by somebody or something.

Question 4 is stupid. How does the branch know if anyone is there, or not, to hear it fall. Of course it makes a sound every time.

I've never watched Sound of Music so it was a guess. Wrong.
I always thought the appendix was used back in the day when we ate grass and stuff before we started eating meat. That's what I was told at school. Wrong.
Of course you would hear a noise if a tree fell in the woods. Just because no-one was there to hear it, doesn't mean it wouldn't make a sound. Wrong.
Never a James Bond lover so .... Wrong.
