Does the bending (folding and faulting) of Earth create sound?
Yes, during earthquakes.
Can you give me a source in which you found this information???
Thanks!
P.S. if you can't that's okay too
DrWLS gave his answer off the top of his head. However, this site confirms his answer.

Seismographs are essentially "earth noise" measurement devices. That is how they are detected.
No, the bending or folding of the Earth's crust does not create audible sound by itself. The geological processes like folding and faulting occur over long periods of time and involve slow movement of large rock masses. These processes typically happen deep within the Earth's crust where they are not capable of producing sound vibrations that we can hear.
However, when large faults or fractures occur near the Earth's surface, they can generate seismic waves during earthquakes, which can travel as sound waves through the air. These seismic waves can create low-frequency sounds that humans can hear, such as the rumbling or shaking associated with earthquakes.
It's important to note that seismic waves are not the direct result of the folding or faulting process itself, but rather the release of stored energy within the Earth's crust due to the movement of tectonic plates. So, while the bending and faulting of the Earth do not directly produce sound, they can trigger seismic events that generate sound waves.
