Nice one!
good job!
good one i would have never guessed.
I was going to guess an alarm clock because it rings when it "goes off", sort of like dying.
How about Silence as an answer?
that's interesting. But there is a "dead" silence, which would throw most people off. Good thinking tho!
a car turning over (can be pretty loud)? a vampire? A mute dying at the top of a staircase?
Good teaser!
OMG!!! THATS SO COOL!! A LEAF DUH!! HAHAHA! I LOVE IT! i first thought ghost n didnt even bother thinkin anything else but ur leaf is EXCELLENT! WELL DONE MATEY!
What about a tree. When it is chopped down. Or a star?
Very nice riddle. I was thinking a star. Don't they blow up, go super nova, when they die? But maybe you would not be able to hear it in space anyway. Leaf is much better.
How about a gourd. They're used as rattles and are a darn site more noisy once dead. There are also cacti used as rain sticks.
Well done. And perfect timing. If it were Spring, perhaps it wouldn't had been such a stumper! But, it was.
this was an easy one to me, and to electronjohn, no one would here it because there is no air in space, so sound can't travel in space, so no one would hear it
How about a car battery?

The beauty is in the simplicity. Nice one!
Thank you for all the positive comments!
Great teaser, I would have never thought of a leaf!
Nice one! I was thinking Dead Ringer.
A mute dying at the top of a staircase? -- Phily
Phily, you are a sick man - I think I like you...
I love it - and it's short & sweet so I can share it. Thanks

How does a leaf make noise when it dies? I'm confused. A bunch of leaves might make noise but one leaf is as silent as a lamb.
How about a martyr as a better answer.

on;y god can make a tree
A crunchy dead leaf!! good one mate!
I will go out of my way to step on a crunchy looking leaf....
I'd have said the pea in a whistle or the skin on a drum.
No way a leaf, that's silly. Listen to the noise when the wind is blowing through them on the tree!

Well, you stirred up lots of comments!
I was thinking of a gourd, also; so I didn't get what you got.
Oh, well, I think it works both ways.
Thanks!

I thought it might be a tree (falling).
Cool! GOdd job!
A very crunchy teaser. Added to my favorites.
well i feel like duh!!! i would have never thought of that!!!
I CAN THINK OF A LOT OF ANSWERS.SORT OF A DUMB QUESTION!!!
Great teaser. I thought of a seed pod.
Nice riddle. I thought the same as wedowee. Thanks for posting.
Will share this one with my grandson ... thanks.
I don't get it. Whatever...
Very good answer, had me stumped.
VERY CUTE!
I loved it!
And I loved auntiesis's comment!

HA, HA, HA!!! NICE
Ooooh, that was a GOOD one!
I said silence as well.
Heck...didn't stump me for a minute! I knew immediately is was a gourd.

Made me reflect (I relate).
On to my Favorites it goes .

There are a lot of things that could go with this question. Guessed on my first try.
I think a nut would have been a better anwer. But good one...
Leaf is a good answer; I thought of skeleton!
Maybe I'm just a little slow but, where are we supposed to enter our answers for the Daily Teasers? I've looked all over & can't seem to find anywhere that is appropriate! Help!
How about a smoke detector? Their really noisy. Very thought filled teaser.
AROB. Hi AS & goodluck GiMi
There are so many things that this could be it's really not a good question. My first thought was a gourd shaker. A rainstick also makes noise. Poor subject for a quiz - there are too many alternate correct answers.
I was thinking smoke detector also!
A leaf? Possibly, but not necessarily.
My guess was a piano.
Anything made of wood that makes noise. Grandfather clock, Blocks, drum sticks, pencil, wooden rattle, windmill, old house, stairs. Popcorn.
While I agree that there are many possible answers to this question, many of the ones being offered make even less sense. Much of what is being suggested would not make any noise at all one it was dead (smoke detectors for instance make a lot of noise while they are dying, but not once they are dead),
A smoke detector that's noisy is doing its job! How is that 'dead'?
Three years ago I guessed skeleton; this time I thought car engine (like when it doesn't turn over?) Obviously, repeats don't bother me the way they do a certain someone else!

Great teaser.
Very clever
Still stumped me, I guess some of us never learn (or remember).
Hi to my good friends.

A car battery
radio signal was what i was thinking
Glad I am not alone in thinking this is a rather vague teaser. Unless it is stepped on a leaf makes no noise, but that was not asked . I agree that the wind blowing on it while alive and on a tree it makes more fluttering sounds than lying on the ground. This was one bad teaser in my opinion!
I didn't get this one right, but I liked it. With autumn coming, things are going to be noisy soon!
A 'dying' smoke detector . I tried.
I momentarily thought the same as catmom, ,but the alarm makes no noise at all when it is dead, only while dying.
And though it will hopefully never happen, when it is alive and doing its job it is much noisier than when it is beeping to alert you to a dying battery.
I did not get the answer .....

I also said tree when it dies & falls
Popcorn.
My brother.
I never would have guessed
Still not impressed with this teaser! Sorry folks, just my opinion. I have read better ones.
I thought it was silence. When silence is dead there's noise... ::shrug:: I agree that there were too many answers.
I guessed tree...just like I did 5 years ago
I really like this sort of pure, simple riddle. I did not get the answer. I was in the smoke detector camp, but as HABS points out, they are noisy when dying, not when dead. I like the leaf answer.
Rainsticks, shakers, and grandfather clock were never alive. They were constructured from once-living material. A leaf retains its identity while living, then while dead.
Grerat riddle!

I did not get it and agree with Babe that a leaf does not make a noise only the wind when it is blowing it. It might also make a noise if someone steps on it. I did not care for this teaser.
Didn't get it, but it would be cute for the kids. It was short and easy to remember.
I am with Babe on this one; should say:
What CAN make more noise when it is dead, than when it is alive?
Still leaves a number of wooden musical instruments though.
