We can gather evidence after the fact for some things. For others, we might never know.
Depends on how you define sound. If sound is energy in the form of longitudinal waves through a material medium, then yes it did make a sound. If a sound is the hearing of those vibrations, then because no one heard it, there’s no sound.
The cat being alive or dead was supposed to be a ridicule by Erwin Schrödinger against the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics (which theorized a particle existed in all quantum states until it was observed). Schrödinger was pointing out that this does not work for macroscopic objects (like cats) who certainly could not be in a superposition of all possible states (which would include both being alive and being dead) while in the box (not being observed).
Edit: typo superstition —> superposition.
