It doesn't, assuming equal wind conditions, although as the air temperature falls hence density rises slightly, it will travel very slightly more quickly.
The impression is from the normal sounds of the day reducing considerably at night, so they do not mask fainter sounds from more distant sources.

Can sound waves travel through a building?
Yes, how much gets through depends on the material, thickness of walls and objects inside, and the frequency of the sound. The sound will 'attenuate' or decrease in intensity as it travels. That is because the sound changes the form of energy that it is in to heat, motion, etc. Low frequencies will travel much farther than higher frequencies.
Does sound travel faster than sound?
no. sound is sound so how on earth can it be faster than itself? answer that!
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
A sound wave will travel most quickly in what?
A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air
Where do sound wave travel the fastes?
Sound waves travel best through air than anything else.
Do sound waves travel farther in liquid than in gas?
Yes.
Can a helicopter travel farther than airplane?
Most airplanes can travel further than helicopters.
Why does sound travel more slowly through air than through a solid?
Air molecules are much, much farther away from each other in air than they are in water.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Why airplane sound is not heard during night?
I really don't get this question. I have been on thousands of night flights, and I have been through hundreds of airports, and I could always hear the engines, day or night. And, because your normal daylight traffic sounds are less, sound carries better at night, so you can hear the sounds of the aircraft farther at night, even farther than you can hear in the daytime. Higher frequencies definitely travel better at night, too. Unless ..., you were asleep, and didn't hear them? I am stumped.One possibility: There are fewer flights between midnight and 6 am: major airline traffic at most airports starts at about 7 o'clock in the morning. So, perhaps you don't hear so much aircraft sound, because they schedule fewer flights at night?

Does a medium travel faster in a solid?
yes, sound travels fastest in solids. If we are talking about sound, then it does travel faster in solids. This is because in solids the particles are more compact and are able to pass on the sound waves more quickly than water media or gas media would since their particles are spaced farther apart.
Does sound travel in a liquid?
Yes sound can travel in liquid, its speed is lesser than that in solid and more than that of gas.
Can sound travel in ways other than sound waves?
No
What is sound louder than?
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.
What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
