I assume that what you are referring to is interference. In the winter, there are less people out and thus less sounds. Same goes for nights and when it’s cold. There is simply less interfering noise, making it seem/sound louder.

If you want an explanation of interference, or of relative audio perception (perceiving things as louder when there is less other noise)
