Interesting question...
Answer: Yes.
A Sound wave is just the propagation of a pressure wave. Just as a ripple can travel on the surface of a river, so can sound travel through wind. It will be subject to the Doppler effect (the change in pitch due to relative motion of observer and source) and also to the turbulence of the wind.

Can sound be carried by wind?
Sound waves travel faster in warmer air. If the temperature of the air near the ground is colder than air higher up, then sound waves traveling slightly upward will bend downward. This tends to "focus" the sound waves back toward the ground and can help amplify the sounds when you are far away.
What are the differences between water waves and sound waves?
sound waves are created by things that make sounds like sombody speaking or instruments. water waves are created by wind.
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
What is an non example for a longitudinal wave?
sugar or salt
Why sound is made when the wind blows through the leaves on a tree?
Sound is caused by a vibration of the leaves. Depending on the shape and stiffness of the leaves, the sound will sound different. Also the speed of the wind will affect the loudness and pitch of the sound.
How can astronauts hear each other in spacecraft?
In space, there is no wind or something to carry the sound waves. Sound waves must travel for people to hear. For example, if an explosion took place in space, you will not hear anything because the sound waves created by the explosion won't travel.
Does sound travel better through gas mist or wind?
mist. the sound reflects off the water drops.
Can you hear someone yelling in space?
Sound needs to travel through something, or you can't hear. Sonce there is nothing in space, sound can't travel.

What do wind instruments and wind instruments have in common in how they produce sound?
Wind instruments use air to create vibration which creates sound. Percussion instruments create sound through striking a Stretched membrane which produces sound or by the vibration of the instrument as a whole.
What kind of instruments need air forced through them to produce musical sound?
It is produced by vibrations of sound waves that connects to your eardrums! This is by: 12 year old Danielle
Why do some ocean currents travel the direction they do?
They travel the way they do because when the wind blows it makes waves and goes to the direction the wind is blowing.
Does sound need wind or electricity to travel?
it needs wind so it can travell
Does the sun make sounds?
No im afraid not.That would be Heat energy because it is over 100,000oF. Up there so the wind would carry sound waves from another area to your current position.So basically it would be the wind
How are ocean waves different from sound waves?
Ocean waves have a distinct sound that soothes a lot of people and can help people sleep. They make a sort of whooshing sound and almost sounds like the wind mixed with water.
Why is it safe to travel into the wind and on the ocean waves?
It is safe as long as there is someone experienced.
