The answer is yes, sound doesn't work based on sight, it's based on hearing. Meaning, a sound won't go off if no one is there to witness it. Animals can hear just fine, they would hear it. And if there were no animals there, it would still make a sound, but it would go unheard.

This question is retarded, i'm sorry. Bad attempt at philosophy this question is.

The only person who wrote a "retarded" (what an awful word to use) version of the question is YOU. No one else mentioned anything about sight or being there to "see"! But it sure is an interesting way to join our discussion ... by misrepresenting and then insulting it.
