It could emit a "sound" but one would not hear it in space. If, say, we surrounded it in a liquid container and vibrated the tree, we'd "hear" the sound, but we wouldn't hear it through space.

We can still detect the sound waves using various equipments - which was how I assume we detected the Sun making "noise".*
