Sound is a wave (of energy) in a medium [solid,liquid, or gas] (a compression wave in fact),
therefore it is refracted by any change in the medium
AND by the fact that it is never coherent (it never travels in only a straight line).
Refraction of a sound wave happens when the sound wave passes from one medium to another, as from air to water or from air to a steel rod. The speed of the sound varies as it passes along different materials.

Much of the sound will be reflected (the amount reflected will depend on the angle of incidence). If the angle of incidence is low enough, the sound will be completely reflected. The portion which is transmitted into the water, if any, will be refracted because of the difference in the speed of sound between air and water. Since the speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air, the sound will be refracted toward the surface of the water. Note that this is the opposite of what happens with light which has a slower speed in water than in air and is refracted away from the surface of the water.
NO
it is a reflection because the sound waves does not travel to another medium that is the condition of refraction
Because the rate at which sound propagates changes with temperature, it is possible for sound to be refracted by changes in the air temperature at low altitudes. Sounds may be refracted toward or away from a listener. This can create what is known as a "shadow zone" a short distance from the sound source, where the sound will be diminished or not heard at all.i think it is that the air is cooler than the ground
Sound can travel through most solid objects, as well as liquids. The vibrations transfer from molecule to molecule, but can be refracted or reflected by gaps or distortions within the matter.
