Yes the little forest people would hear!. And come and help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no one would hear you scream because you said you were alone!. unless you want to get nit picky about the definition of alone!. what if you have such a loud voice that people 1000 miles away heard you!? are you alone!? after all, you can affect them in some way, ie!. they can hear you!. maybe the answer to the question depends on how loud you can scream!. or by alone do you mean no humans in existence but yourself!? if you meant this, then why even ask the question because obviously there would be no one to hear you!.

for the purposes of this answer i assume by "anybody" you only mean the species of Homosapiens!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably wouldn't happen sunshine!.
The premise is that you would be clapping with one hand when the tree fell!. Impossible to clap with one hand, therefore the situation wouldn't exist for the tree's fall! No one would have to hear you because you wouldn't be screaming, because the tree didn't fall!.!.!.!.!.
it wouldn't matter that you were alone!. ROTFLWww@QuestionHome@Com

haha!.!.!. if there's nobody around, then nobody can hear you!. but if you meant do you still make a sound!? yeah, i hope so!. unless you're a mute!. then screaming wouldnt do you much good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no becausyou would be alone, the animals would hear you, but thats about it!. because you just said you were alone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can't clap with only one hand anyway, and I don't think anyone would here you scream eitherWww@QuestionHome@Com
