Not because there's someone, but because it fell and caused the air to vibrate aka sound. Has nothing to do with "observing".
I'm honestly sick of this rhetoric. "observing" for us humans requires a sense to be triggered, which most commonly would by our eyes and for that we need light. In quantum physics, that's a problem, largely because even that tiny bit of light is a fucking nuke in this context. By the time it comes back to be picked up by the sensor, it has done its deed and changed everything. Similar issues with non light related ways of measuring.
This video has a lot more info, but she briefly mentions the experiment to further build on another popular myth. It's such a refreshing channel to watch after all the quick pop science videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQv5CVELG3U
