Ah, so you want to bring philosophy into this?
Can you even know if anything would make a sound? Does sound even exist?
Or is it simply our mind's way of interpreting the vibrations in the air?
Because that is what sound is, basically. Vibrations in the air that move our eardrum and send a signal to our brain.
Now, if our minds didn't interpret these vibrations, would they be sound?
No. They'd simply be vibrations.
So, to answer your question, I say both yes and no. Yes, in a way that main proponent of sound, the vibrations in the air, exist, but no, because a mind is not there to interpret those vibrations as sound.
