Q4: It may be a philosophical oddity with no definitive answer but it’s a BS answer.
Just because there is no witness to an observable sound-creating event does NOT preclude the generation of that sound.
In this case the science of physics trumps philosophy.

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.

 

[Caron]
