Does wind effect sound waves?

Question

Does wind effect sound waves?

Answer 1

Yes, but you won't hear a difference in pitch. If the wind blows towards you from the source of the sound, the wavelength will be longer, but the wave would also travel faster, thus keeping the frequency the same which keeps the pitch the same.

Same if the wind blows from you toward the source, the wavelength will be shorter, but the sound will also travel slower. Thus keeping the frequency the same once again.

So the actual sound waves are changed, but the frequency stays the same.

Answer 2

Yes,wind does effect sound waves . if the wind is flowin' in d direction of d movement of sound waves & makes an angle of theta with d horizontal then speed of sound waves increase by (speed of wind*cos theta). D same formula goes if the direction of d wind is 2 d opposite of d direction of movement of sound eaves, d only difference lying in the fact dat this time the actual speed of sound in air will b equal 2 (Speed of wind*cos theta) subtracted  from d speed of sound in air when ther's no wind .

Answer 3

yes because sound is only vibration

Answer 4

Yes it does.

Sound waves, just as any other wave, need a medium to transfer through. This could be air or water or anything else.

Wind will affect the medium the sound wave moves through, in this case air. This will result in distortions in the wave.

Actually you can hear this. Try listening to a radio in a windy environment. Some sounds will sound 'weird'.  

Answer 5

yes the more he velocity of wind against the propagation of sound the less sound is heard
