Where there are trees, there is wildlife. The wildlife has ears too. I've always felt this question was an example of human arrogance as we often forget we aren't the sole inhabitants of the earth. I bet anything that the ants and the spiders heard that tree fall.
I always heard the question as “no one around to hear it” and interpreted that to mean NO ONE. But it’s another good question- can there really ever be no one?
define no one?
You mean no human being, or no living creature? What about organisms?
Right. No one, meaning no living thing at all. But really what does that even mean.
Not all living things have been identified by men, so how can we tell...
Well, it’s a philosophical question so we’d have to take it on faith. A hypothetical0 -

That I would like nothing more than to curl up in bed and read a book and take a nap until this passes. Seems like it's only getting worse the older I get.
Also, naps are awesome.3 -

Most of the trees which fall on my tribal rainforest are old and rotted out. As they fall, most of the initial sound occurs as it seemingly implodes from within, disturbing other trees around it emitting sound via contact branches. The core of some trees make a floofish bloop sound (similar to drumming with mushrooms).
From a great distance, a tree falling during waking hours is mostly observed, not heard by human ears, from birds taking flight in a "plume of smoke" pattern, then fleeing, like a migration.
*sometimes wild boars, cows, horses are caught under the weight of the tree mass, where the sounds are more disturbing from possible pain or surprise .1 -

Going for a run or walk or Alexander technique works for me. You know your body.

One of my connections on here is in a bad way in the hospital. He is from the US and I'm from the UK and we chat regularly just about any old thing, he's a sweet guy with an adorable grandson. I never really considered that the connection meant anything until his daughter reached out to me through his account and said how he would speak about me to his family and I'm just honestly so touched that there is this family the other side of the world who know about me and care about me and it actually made me cry that they thought to update me in their darkest hour. I'm not bragging or trying to come across like I'm something special I am just stunned to have had an impact on another person. Sometimes the Internet is so pure, not often, but sometimes. I suppose it just made me realise that it's important to always be kind and to make time for people who make time for you. Sorry its a rant but I'm British and don't know how to express my emotions appropriately.11

And now I'm concerned my above post seems self indulgent the Internet is hard 3

It’s not self indulgent, it’s a nice story. Really illustrates the lasting impact we can have, regardless of what we see online. The tone of your post doesn’t feel self indulgent at all, it feels like you’re blown away—don’t sweat it
