If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it except for one man, but the tree falls on that man and kills him, does the man dying make a sound?

If a tree in a forest were to fall on a mime would anybody care?

Yes, the moment one tree is pressing all air out of his lungs, he will emit a special sound of escaping compressed air. But this is not a philosophical question at all. It is pure physics.
Sometimes one of these unhappy men have time enough to say: „shit“, before the air is escaping the body.

Yes, as you say it, I have seen it too, now. But I have to finish the thought and add one sentence to the last one:
This is philosophy!
(When he says „shit“.)

Hahah
Let me paraphrase this philosophycal question: If a tree falls in the forest and there is no woman to hear it, is the man still wrong?

Ok. This question is a tricky one because you assume the intersexual principle of „beeing right“ as a well known common one. If you search for „wrong“, I would say the tree is wrong, but as we philosophers know since our first lesson, trees can't be wrong because the wrong–right pattern is a pure human perspective. By the way, is this man slayed by the tree too or is the tree just falling? That's important to know before finishing my studies.

The tree will fall eventually. So I guess you are right, there is no right or wrong. It's just a matter of human perspective.
