Which raises the question, if a tree falls in-game, but only non-playable characters are there. Does the falling tree make a sound when it hits the ground?

In most games I would suspect the tree doesn't fall. Philosophy bypassed!

Sound is only perceived, it’s not intrinsic to the event itself.

Do the NPCs in the game perceive sound?
