Yes and no. It all depends in what field you're describing sound. In physics, a tree that fell in the forest most definitely made a sound. In psychology, it doesn't.

In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.

In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain.

To be honest, I'm with the physicists.
