Well technically, the tree falling will produce sound waves, but if no one with ears is around to turn those waves into actual sound, the no, it doesn't make a noise. Sound is something the inner workings of our ears turn sound waves into

Basically nothing "makes a noise", it produces sound waves that our (or an animal's) ears turn into "noise" so if no one is around to "hear" the sound waves, there is no noise. Does that make more sense?
