I disagree, but understand that it is dependent upon the definition of 'noise'
If noise is sound and sound is the physical manifestation of sound waves in air then I believe that regardless of whether anyone/anything is there to 'hear it' that noise/sound is still there because it is for me that physical property of the universe that we describe upon detecting it as noise/sound.
The physical manifestation is there, so it exists (of course without anyone there to prove it the point is mute)
p.s. get it? mute?
