Whatever. It just wouldn't be noise-sound unless there was the organs present to hear it. If you listen to a tape-recording six years after the fact, and yours where the first ears to be presented with the recorded vibrations then noise-sound would happen six years after the event. This is subtracting all the other little animals and criders, of course.

u hadd it rite the first time. the answer deepend on how you denote sound. if you leave your stereo playing at home full blast and no one there to heer it, it still make sound. you can record the stereo while you gone too and it will tape the sound. if a train whistle blows and a conductor is there to heer it, but he die of heart attack and cant no longer heer the sound, that dont mean train whistle dont sound cuz he dead.

LB, are you suggesting that if a troll posts
and there's no one around to feed him
it'll reduce the din? -

SPAZnik I would like to think that it could work. Imagine that, a paradise earth where trolls do not live.

If a pioneer preached in a forest and there was no one there to hear it, could they still count their time?

As long as they'd done a call somewhere else first...
