Yes. We know that there is an objective universe that the tree is falling and making a sound in. This question is one of the reasons I hate the philosophical stance of relativity.

of course it'll make a sound, even if nothing hears that sound

it would make the same amount of sound it would make if someone was there to witness it or if no one was around. Having someone there to hear it does not increase the volume it makes. Use ur head...
