eli5 whats the difference between sound and wind?

195 views

Why if someone is shouting you can hear it from hundreds of meters but if you were next to them you could hear them but not feel the air moving but you can feel a fan if you’re close to it but you cannot hear it from far away?

(The bad grammar makes it even more eli5)

Wind is the motion of air.

Sound is a series of pressure waves moving through air or another medium, whether or not that medium is moving.
