Yes. Sound exists if no one is there to hear it.
If you were to record video in an area where no one is around, the sound would be recorded.

sound
noun
vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.

no one is hearing it, so technically it isn't sound

In physics sound is only the vibration of stuff. Vibrations of a kind that our ears can pick up and our brain translates as sound. The vibrations themselves will always take place and that is the actual sound, whether or not there are any ears to pick the vibrations up or not. The energy that is the sound will eventually be absorbed otherwise and cause some effects, since energy cannot be created, nor can it be destroyed.

Long scientific story short... YES! It does make sound.

Basically it's the same question as, if I turn on a lamp but there is nobody to see it, does it still give light? Well, yeah, of course it does.

Then again, if a rock is on a place nobody can see it, the rock is also still there.

Ok, I guess I should have clarified that the entire point of this was to make a joke in the title.

Well a tree doesn't need human intervention to fall, chunks or no chunks.

I found it hard to understand how unloaded chunks would make a sound, but apparently it does

Exactly - if the chunks aren't liaded, the tree can't fall

I wish we could edit our comments on Imgflip

I agree, editing comments is a great idea.

Yes, but I think this is a gateway to a truly deeper question.

If there was no consciousness, would the universe exist?

yes because that's how sound works.
