When a tree falls in the forest, and it's too loud, does it make a sound?
Some people say, "A tree falling in the forest makes a sound, even if no one is there to hear it." But what if the tree just... doesn't? What if it's just a tree, minding its own business, not making a peep?
Is it still a tree if it doesn't make a tree sound?
Or does it just become a pile of wood?
And what about the sound of a tree standing still? Is that just the sound of silence, or is it something more?
These are the kinds of questions that keep philosophers up at night, wondering if they're just a bunch of tree-hugging, sound-making, semanticists.
