This problem is a human made one and relies on the definition of the word, sound. Sound does not require an observer. Sound-wave is just scientific / pedantic way of saying sound. It's not just English, it means the same in my language.
- ThomPete 9y agoSound does require an observer indeed. Soundwaves even require observers and definition of them as soundwaves. Otherwise there is nothing.

- ThomPete 9y agoBecause there is not interpreter to make it a sound.
