If a ladder falls in a studio and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Good thing I had my audio recorder running.

And the answer is yes if you were wondering...

The answer is NO. Air molecules move in a frequency pattern, but it requires a brain to interpret the air movement as sound - noise or music. No one to listen, therefore no meaning to the air movement, therefore no sound.
