Yes it does. Just becuase you don't hear doesn't mean it isn't there. If a deaf man is in that forest, doesn't it still make a sound? Sound isn't based off if we hear it or not. Here is the definition of sound: "Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing." Now there are alot of things that are over 20,000 Hz and under 20 Hz, we don't hear them, but they are still there.
