It’s draft. Like if you open 2 windows opposite sides of the house, the wind blows trough the house.
The other end of your toilet is open to the outside, so draft can go trough.

Plumbing system has a vent, i.e. a pipe that connects to the outside air to allow air flow through the pipes as the water flows and displaces air.
As the wind blows, it also slightly disturbs the air in the vent pipes, which slightly disturbs the water.
