It depends on how you define sound. If sound is the waves of compression 
transmitted through the air then there is a sound. If sound is the perception 
in a brain which has received a stimulus from the auditory nerves after they 
have been activated by those waves of compression and there is no brain 
with the attendent equipment to receive the perception then there is no sound.

                                                                  "Can a 
nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot." Vladimir Lenin
