Technically, the biomass we call a tree has indeed succumed to the effects of gravitational attraction, and has thus changed orientation from vertical to horizontal. That the lifeform in question is incapable of audibly registering this phenomenon will in no way reverse, or change the physical aspects of said alteration in landscape. One is required however, to incorporate the perspective of the lifeform into a philisophical interpretation of reality, and understand the relativistic view of this observer. That said, the soundwaves were created regardless of an ability to recieve them, and thus have traveled in all directions outward from the initial impact zone, creating an effect in this physical world whether the waves reached an observer or not.
As no interaction between observer an phenomenon transpired, there is no audible record of the tree falling, yet indeed, the tree did fall. One has merely to walk into the habitat to complete the reqisite observation to verify the position and location of the Biomass. From this we can infer the results of a tree falling in the woods, and imagine what sounds it made as a result.
