So a tape recorder does not detect sound?

Well... In a vacuum it doesn't.

Sounds travel through gasses, liquids, and solids. Take away all those and you have no sound.

Ah, but the question was about a tree in the woods.

If a tree falls in the woods, and there is a tape recorder recording, but no people around, does the tree falling make a sound?

Of course.  But the Ewok is still crushed by the falling tree, and THAT is a tragedy.
