if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it – it does not make a sound

Define sound
yes. it. does. you just didn't hear it... like you didn't hear things a dog could hear... or can't see in the night but things still exist in the night.
what is sound?
Hearing is the experience; sound is the patterns of waves of vibration of molecules.
... If there were no eyes to see, the Sun would not make light.

if the sun exists it will make light... regardless of your ability to see it.
there is no objective reality
existence is a concept
"existence is a concept" is a concept one can only conceive of while existing so therefore everything within the concept also exists otherwise you'd never experience it at all. if the rules of sound exist in your concept then sound exists.
there is objective reality because humans have sensual consensus about it at scale
some add a layer to this objective reality & we call them crazy (different conversation)
philosophically, when pushed enough epistemology tips into ontology & vice versa
at that's a strange loop about the nature of existence and being :) but to say existence isn't objective is to say something like... we all, for the most part, don't agree on what colors are because a small % are color blind.
the sound of one hand clapping sounds like this:
{{ claps with one hand }}
sounds like masturbation, ironically... but mental masturbation makes no sound of course
lol
sounds are waves and can break structures.
dogs can hear sounds people can't...
objective af.
The word LIGHT refers to the experience in consciousness.
Yes, the Sun will emit electromagnetic waves just like right now.
But without your eyes, the representation of the detected pattern of em-waves will not be created in your consciousness.
No light.
Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometers and it doesn't matter if you have eyes or not lol. just cause you can't see something doesn't mean it ceases to exist.
Maybe after Newton.
