If a tree falls in a vacuum, does it make a sound? I'd imagine not, so I guess sound doesn't exist at all without the medium to propagate it?

If you were not touching the surface of whatever body the tree fell on, it would not make a sound.

If you were touching the surface of the aforementioned body, there would be a sound. Sort of. You'd feel it through your feet (or whatever part of you was touching the surface), as opposed to hearing it through your ears.
