Doesn't observation define reality?

We don't know if the cat's dead or alive, we don't know if the tree is standing or fallen, until it's observed. How can we, with any certainty, assume that "that tree is no longer standing, it produced waves in the atomic medium as it fell" if there was no one to observe the fall or the possible resulting sound?

Even if that was the case, I'm sure either a metaphysical creature (God, Nature) or a physical one (the ant that got crushed by the tree) could see (and feel) the tree having fallen, and thus enforcing the notion that a sound has indeed been made.

"Observation defines reality"? What about the stuff we can't observe; aren't those things real?
