There are a couple sources of sound that are readily apparent. First there is the sound that made by the powerful wind as it moves across the ground, trees, and buildings. Some times you can also hear the sound of buildings being torn apart.
When a tornado hits the ground, it produces an extremely loud and distinct sound, often described as a continuous roaring or freight train-like noise. This sound is caused by the powerful winds swirling and causing destruction, along with the debris and objects being picked up and thrown around by the tornado.
There is no special sense for detecting tornadoes. Aside from keeping and eye on weather advisories, the best way to know a tornado is nearby is to see it. Seeing a tornado is not always possible as the tornado may be shrouded in heavy rain, hidden in the dark of night, or blocked from view by buildings, trees, or hills. Tornadoes also make sound, but it is not a reliable indicator, as simple thunderstorm winds can make a similar roaring sound, and the tornado itself may not be audible until it is dangerously close. The pressure drop in a tornado can cause your ears to pop, but the tornado has to be practically on top of you for this to happen.
Yes, a tornado is loud because of the high winds swirling around it, which can produce a loud roaring sound. The noise is often compared to that of a freight train or jet engine.
No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.
Yes. Tornadoes often produce a roaring sound that many say sounds liek a freight train. Some tornadoes have been said to sound like waterfalls or jet engines. However, you shouldn't rely on sound to tell you a tornado is coming, since by the time you hear the tornado it may already be too late to get to a safe place.

That air raid siren you hear also serves as a tornado warning. The shrieking winds of the tornado will sound like a freight train passing by.
No. A twister is a tornado.

tornadoes sound like freight trains
It sounds like a train.Answer:I have seen a tornado. It actually came right next to my house. First everything goes quiet. Then all of a sudden a waterfall sound comes out. That is the tornado. That was my perception. However almost everyone else says train.from the National Weather Services Storm Prediction Center's FAQ PageWhat does a tornado sound like? That depends on what it is hitting, its size, intensity, closeness and other factors. The most common tornado sound is a continuous rumble, like a close by train. Sometimes a tornado produces a loud whooshing sound, like that of a waterfall or of open car windows while driving very fast. Tornadoes which are tearing through densely populated areas may be producing all kinds of loud noises at once, which collectively may make a tremendous roar. Just because you may have heard a loud roar during a damaging storm does not necessarily mean it was a tornado. Any intense thunderstorm wind can produce damage and cause a roar.
The sound of a tornado can reach up to 140 decibels, which is equivalent to standing next to a jet engine. The loud noise is generated by the strong wind and debris being swept up by the tornado, creating a roaring and rumbling sound.
it is that it is tornado alley it make a strong storm with ice and then ice comes then tornado
Yes, in some instances one tornado may spawn a smaller satellite tornado.
