If a tree falls

[sathor]

in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

It's a metaphor

If a tree (a big thing) falls in the forest (makes a ruckus in the middle of nowhere) is anyone going to hear it?

I.E. If you live in a rural area don't expect to have loads of friends and interesting things to do, or people to influence.
